MURFREESBORO — The
person at the helm of MTSU’s incubator for budding journalists will be the
guest on the next edition of the “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Val Hoeppner, director of
MTSU’s Center for Innovation in Media in the College of Mass Communication,
will air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday,
Feb. 29, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Hoeppner is in charge of operations for all student media at
the center, which houses student radio station WMTS-FM; student-operated
television station MT10; and student-run record label Match Records, as well as
National Public Radio affiliate WMOT-FM.
A veteran of 20 years as a photojournalist and multimedia
director at the Indianapolis Star, Hoeppner served as director of education for
the Freedom Forum Diversity Institute for five years prior to joining MTSU.
Hoeppner said she is most proud of the students who created
an iPad application for MTSU’s Center for Popular Music located inside the John
Bragg Mass Communication Building and filled it with content during the fall
2014 semester.
“You can … get a full panoramic tour of the center,” said
Hoeppner. “There’s an interactive timeline in there. There are several videos
produced by the students and of course writing done by the students.”
