Santa Ana : Broadcast Assn. Honors College Adviser Bales
Terry Bales, chairman of the telecommunications-journalism department at Rancho Santiago College, has been named “Distinguished Broadcast Advisor for 1987” by the national College Media Advisors Assn.
Bales received his award, the first of its kind given for broadcast journalism, at the association’s national conference Nov. 1 in St. Louis.
Bales’ responsibilities include the “Around and About Orange County” television news program produced at Rancho Santiago College. For the past two years, the program has been named the “best cable-access news series in the United States” in national competition.
“I believe that it is up to the adviser to encourage students to see our training lab not as a school situation but as a professional operation that serves the news needs of not only the college but also the community,” Bales said.
Bales has been a member of Rancho Santiago College’s faculty since 1971.
