Television is still arguably the most important medium for political communication in the world today. Because of this, scholars of political communication have long studied the medium and its impact on the political process. However, with the exception of internships, students have always been limited in their opportunities to gain firsthand experience with the medium because of its complex production process and high cost. Now, with the arrival of easy-to-learn, high-quality video editing software like Apple’s iMovie, it is finally possible for typical students to explore television from the inside.
