Missourian Reporters Used New Two-Way Radios
|
Four federally licensed press-radio units helped connect reporters and photographers to the Columbia Missourian newsroom. The new radios, operating as station KLX-247, enabled students to learn of new assignments without returning to the newsroom. The system, with a range of about 30 miles, was financed from a $5,000 grant from Walter Annenberg in honor of Merrill Panitt, a Missouri journalism alumnus and TV Guide editor.
Students no longer had to return to the news desk (top, with JoAnn Dickerson) to receive assignments, thanks to new two-way radios. They used the radios in field reporting, from stories in the park (lower left) to checking police station logs (lower right).
