The Spring 2019 UT:10 News Team.
UT:10 News is the 10-minute weekly newscast produced by the Comm-4100 TV Journalism class at the University of Toledo. The class is an integrated communication course that takes what are four separate courses at most other universities, and combines them into one class. Students learn how to research & write stories, shoot and edit video, and report and anchor the news. Through the very intensive class, students are able to get a taste of life in the world of news and media. The class covers local, national, and international events from the UT perspective. Every semester, UT:10 News evolves and changes, striving to meet new technologies and industry standards. 

Many former students have said the class will make or break you in terms of pursuing a job in the field of media.  But, if you're a student at UT and interested in Journalism, don’t let that scare you.  UT:10 News is fun and exhilarating. It allows students to meet new peers and faculty members, make media contacts within and outside the university, improve writing skills, and gain real-world newsroom experience.

Dr. Jackie Layng has been the driving force behind the class & newscast since she developed it with UT Department of Communication Media Producer/Director, John Eidemiller.  When the class began in the Fall of 2005, the show was called Rocket Report.  It started out as a 30-minute newscast, but has evolved to a shorter format program as the news industry has changed.  In the Fall of 2008, with a brand new set and a new graphic look, the name of the show was changed to UT:10 News to reflect the more concise 10-minute newscast.

In the Spring of 2017, UT:10 News made history with the newscast's first ever remote live shot.
Student Reporter Alexis Wheatley reported live from the Lancelot Thompson Student Union, covering the ribbon cutting and grand opening of a new Steak 'n Shake restaurant. Also during the Spring 2017 semester, UT:10 News got a makeover with the first graphics package update in nearly a decade.  The new look reflects current news programming on both local and national news broadcasts.

The Comm-4100 TV Journalism class has become highly competitive and holds its own against other established newscasts and journalism programs from universities across the country.  In 2010, UT:10 News won a College Television Award for Best Overall Newscast in the country from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the same organization that awards the Emmy to professional television stations.  In the finals of the competition, UT:10 News beat out other newscasts from Syracuse University, UNC Chapel Hill, and SIU at Carbondale. The newscast has also won numerous awards from the Society of Professional Journalists including several first place finishes in the Best Overall TV News Program category for the SPJ's Region 4, which includes programs from the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Ohio State University, Indiana University and West Virginia University.
