Due to the addition of the online webcasts on the 5livenews.com, we are asking for specific permission to include students in the video. This applies to anchors and reporters specifically, but may include anyone working for the show that might be a part of the broadcast. This by no means has any weight on the hiring of a student, but simply with on-air personnel.
