In Korea, being 50 years old is called “knowing your fate given by God.” This department has been the best in the area on educating students preparing them to work for the mass media indus- try. Looking at the past 50 years, we have had many ups and downs. In particular, 2005 through 2010 was the most diffi- cult time for us. During that time, we lost our TV and radio stations, some faculty, and many students but we hung in there with the support of our alumni. Without your support, I don’t think we could make it through tough times. We get significant support, including financial support, from alumni. I have heard from many university administrators that jour- nalism graduates are the ones willing to help the department and the university. For instance, we have had many scholarships provided by alumni in the last few years. I’d like to give my deepest appreciation to those who have supported this department.

  • KRWG Quarterly Program Topic Report April, May, June
    KRWG Quarterly Program Topic Report April, May, June 2009 INTRODUCTION Through meetings with local community leaders, review of area newspapers and other publications, and production of a nightly newscast (Monday to Friday), the staff of KRWG-TV have determined that the following issues are of primary importance to the citizens within our coverage area: Health/Welfare/Safety – Petty crimes and drive-by shootings are an on-going problem in this area. While the over-all crime rate is no higher than the national average, low-income families and a higher than average teenage population contribute to the gang and crime problem. The chronic low-income family problem also results in health and welfare issues including an above average social services caseload and a high number of welfare cases handled by the local hospital. Culture – The mix of Hispanic/Native American/ and Anglo cultures provide many positive attributes to life in southern New Mexico. However, this same mix results in an on-going undercurrent of conflict among the cultures. Cultural and historical understanding is of on-going importance in this area. Business - With an above-average unemployment rate and a below-average income level, the status of the business/agricultural community in southern New Mexico is an important and on-going issue. Concern over the constant issue of defense spending at the federal level is ongoing in this area due to the presence of several military and NASA installations. Dona Ana county is also actively seeking new businesses and a strong infrastructure exists near the Santa Teresa Border Crossing, which is also a source of news and related issues.

Monday, August 29, 2016 1 letter from coach martin Hey Aggie fans! We are excited about this season. We have some great returning talent and a lot of things to be excited about. All-American running back Larry Rose III provides explosive excitement to our of- fense and brings an energy to the team that our fans will love. Defensively, we have a solid group of returners in Rodney Butler, Jacob Nwanwa and Terrill Hanks, who caught the pass with his an- kles at the end of the Idaho game to secure the victory for us. Following the conclusion of last season, we were excited to bring in former Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani as the defen- sive coordinator, and he has done a great job of getting the defense ready for the season. We have worked hard since the beginning of fall camp, and now we need Aggie fans to come out to the games, be loud and help cheer us on this season!
