TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON—Students from Westwood Regional Jr./Sr. High School visited WCTV’s studio at town hall on Nov. 15 for a hands-on introduction to community television production.
WHS digital media teacher and WTV advisor Joan Petrocelli supervised the students, who operated cameras and handled control room tasks. During an interview segment, Ava Tirri and Paul Hackimian asked questions of WCTV volunteers Larry Lifrieri and Emily Kratzer. Volunteers Ida Astute, Rick Wojcicki, and Fred Voss also worked closely with the students, sharing practical knowledge and guiding them through the production process.
