A different type of journalist is getting booked on “Meet The Press.”
The venerable NBC News Sunday public-affairs program will test a five-week series featuring college journalism students on a panel with the show’s moderator, Chuck Todd. The assemblage will even take part in one of the program’s central rituals – quizzing newsmakers on pertinent questions.
New episodes of “Meet The Press: College Roundtable” will be available every Friday on NBC News’ digital platforms, including NBC News’ YouTube channel, “Stay Tuned,” the NBC News program designed for Snapchat, and on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s new streaming-video service.
Launch of the new limited-run series is the latest in a suite of programs NBC News has tailored for younger audiences, who often gain access to video and information in ways other than watching a program at a specific day and time on a screen set in a communal home space like a family room.
