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 donations from supporters, we now have a new television production facility on the UNT campus, to complement 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.
