Studios & Labs

The Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism is committed to providing students with the latest technology required to succeed in the fast-paced journalism profession. These computer classrooms and facilities, all located in Sycamore Hall and in Chilton Hall, offer state-of-the-art technology and the most current software applications.

CHILTON HALL PRODUCTION STUDIO

Over the past several years, the Mayborn School has partnered with UNT's Media Arts Department to completely refurbish the studio space in Chilton Hall. Thanks to valuable donations from area media partners and generous support, we now have a new television production facility on the UNT campus to complement the existing facilities in the Media Arts Building.

This new state-of-the-art studio gives students the full visual media experience - from anchoring and broadcasting news to shooting, editing and producing final video for news programming, documentaries and filmmaking.

Classroom for introductory journalism courses such as Instruction in Software Applications Used Within the Journalism Profession, Writing for Broadcast News Media, Advanced Broadcast News Writing and Reporting, Online Journalism, and Public Relations Writing. The classroom is equipped with current iMacs installed with software such as InDesign, Photoshop, Final Cut, iLife, iWork, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft Office.

MAC LAB (SYCAMORE 226)

The Mac Lab was founded and originally funded by long-time journalism professor Jim Rogers and is available for all Mayborn School of Journalism students.

Located in the Mac Lab are current iMacs equipped with specialized software relevant to print production, photojournalism, broadcast news, advertising, and public relations. Some titles include InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut, Adobe Premiere, Audacity, iLife, iWork, and Photo Mechanic. Black & white and color printing are offered for class use only. Also available for use are scanners, headphones, Blu-ray burners, card readers, and other peripherals. The facility also houses four Dell Windows PCs for use on specialized assignments by broadcast students.

Lab assistants are on hand to assist and answer questions about software applications.
