KUOZ Productions at University of the Ozarks will present "Election '24" live coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

KUOZ Productions, a co-curricular organization at Ozarks, will present the live studio production to report local, county and national election results. The coverage will be shown on Cable Channel 6 in Clarksville as well as on the KUOZ Productions YouTube channel.

The production will last approximately three hours and will include students and faculty from the University's communication studies program as well as other disciplines across campus. There will also be pre-packaged stories by students in the advanced media production class profiling different issues.

Russell Jones, instructor of broadcast/video/multimedia storytelling, said the emphasis of the coverage will be on local and county results.

"The interest in the general election helped us get students focused on local issues, and how local governments and voters make democracy work on a fundamental level," said Jones.

Jones and Susan Edens, associate professor of communication, worked with students in the advanced media production class and the co-curricular program to develop their storytelling and live studio production skills.
