(A) JOURNALISM - emphasis is on broadcast journalism option at Disneyland where you will be the Field Journalist reporting live from the Outer Rim as the world of Jedi, Storm Troopers, and other folks congregate for MAY THE FOURTH. You will write out your report either as a news report or as a feature. Read the Journalism Merit Badge booklet for definitions.

This is a RARE merit badge to earn as you will have to TOUR IN PERSON a broadcast studio to ask questions to your tour guide before you come on May 4 if you want a completed blue card -or- it will be a partial.

You may visit a COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY RADIO STATION OR TELEVISION STATION instead of a CORPORATION.
