Action / Reaction

Take Me / Show Me
The job of any good broadcast journalist is to take the audience somewhere they can't go and to show them something they can't see on their own.

Say Your Name and Spell It
It's the first question of every interview and it'll save you loads of time in the edit bay. This poster is designed to remind students of the importance of this question.

What's Your Focus Statement?
This poster reminds students of the importance of staying on focus with their news or feature stories. The focus statement should guide the entire shooting process.

Dave Davis started a Broadcast Journalism class at Hillcrest High School in the fall of 1989. Since then, the school's student-produced show, "HTV Magazine," has become one of the nation's most-honored high school broadcasts.

In an effort to provide valuable, useful, hands-on instruction to broadcast teachers from across the nation, Davis founded ASB Workshop in the summer of 2000. Since then, the week-long workshop has provided training for hundreds of high school and middle school teachers from 47 states, plus Mexico, England, South Korea, and Japan.

In the spring of 2009 he was named the Springfield (MO) Public Schools Teacher of the Year. He lives in Springfield with wife Martha, and has two daughters who live and work in the area.
