INSTRUCTORS

Led by Drum TV founder Richard Martin, our instructors are adjunct staff members of NYU and The New School departments of broadcasting and television. They offer a wealth of experience with production credits that include: ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX news, CNN, the BBC and Entertainment Tonight. They have taught journalists, anchors and television presenters who have appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX network affiliates, CNN, NY1 and the Food Network among others.

Located on Harlem’s historic 125th Street, Drum TV and the CFWC offer hands-on experience and training for individuals seeking employment in the broadcast field at the most affordable rates in New York City. Drum TV’s small, experiential
courses allow students to have one-on-one instruction time with experienced instructors and to immediately use professional equipment and facilities. Students also leave with professional quality samples of their work, which they will need to secure jobs in the industry as anchors, reporters or on-air presenters.

Interested students are encouraged to apply early, as space is limited.
