Here are photos from Week Two of the 2007 Wartburg/IBA Summer Broadcasting Workshop, held at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa from July 30-August 3, 2007.
A total of 12 students from Iowa and Wisconsin attended the week-long workshop.

Group 1 / Group 2 / Group 3 / Group 4
Group 1: (Back L to R) Michael Jontz '09, West Des Moines, Iowa; Jake Waddingham '08, Macksburg, Iowa; and Sara Helgens '08, Scotch Grove, Iowa; (Front) Counselor Amy De Jardin '07, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin.
It's so nice when a group tends to all the needs of their counselor.
Group 2: (L to R) D.J. Myers '09, Ames, Iowa; Gretta Stark '08, River Falls, Wisconsin; Counselor Travis Bockenstedt '09, Strawberry Point, Iowa; Ellen Kurt '07, Dyersville, Iowa.
Good videography, good lighting...and, apparently, good makeup...are keys to TV reporting in Travis' world.
Group 3: (Standing L to R) Megan Lackman '07, Denison, Iowa; Julie Winkler '08, Keokuk, Iowa; Justin Conner '07, Algona, Iowa; (Front) Counselor Jonathon Gregg '08, Charlotte, Iowa.
While it may look like a studio light fell onto a staff member, be assured that no counselors were actually harmed during the taking of this photograph.
Group 4: Amanda Stevenson '07, Menomonie, Wisconsin; Alex Davis '08, Paullina, Iowa; Stefani Keller '09, Donnellson, Iowa; Counselor Jimmy Vowell '07, Nashua, Iowa; and Counselor Michelle Caldwell '08, Washington, Iowa.
While we don't recommend that counselors round up and brand their campers like livestock, it does help to identify who is in which group.
