What're people saying about Your Newsroom?

  • “I just discovered the “Your Newsroom” program a few minutes ago while I was surfing Twitter.  I am absolutely impressed with the work this student broadcast journalists have done… I guess I should have been looking at The George-Anne Media Group for future newsroom professionals instead of through the actual Communications Dept. because ya’ll have it GOING ON!!” 
    • ​Kathy Wideman, News Operations Manager, WJBF-TV Augusta
  • "Had a great time sitting down @Your_Newsroom & @asa_baurle to talk some Madden Competitive Gaming. The show that @imandycole has built out at Georgia Southern is as impressive as a student production I have seen."
    • ​Royce Dickerson, Executive Producer of Madden Competitive Sports, EA Sports
