Discourse Community

I am a member of the West Virginia University radio station. There I am involved in the broadcasting aspect of the station. I write and perform sports and news casts. This is updating the public on the sports and basic news of the day. In order to communicate with the other broadcasters we use e-mail as well as calling each other. The communication is something that takes place daily. We update each other on breaking stories and what events we need to cover. After games or events in the area i conduct interviews of the players and important figures. There I ask questions on their opinions of what happened and why things took place the way they did. Our communication also involves weekly meetings where we get together and discuss any suggestions for change or to update everyone on how each persons role may impact the station as a whole. Without some form of routine communication the radio station would not be able to function at all.
