Abstract | Charlie Tuggle brings to his position as Director of the Electronic Communication Sequence at the University of North Carolina School of Journalism and Mass Communication an extensive career as a broadcast journalist and producer. Among other achievements he expanded the sequence to include three student-run, award-winning broadcast productions. Born in Fort Meade, Fla., Tuggle has stayed primarily in the Southeast throughout his academic and professional career. After attending Fort Meade High School, Tuggle went to the University of Florida, earning his bachelor's and master's degrees there before going on to University of Alabama for his doctoral degree. Tuggle began his college career intending to study agricultural education, inspired by a favorite high school teacher. Then he discovered journalism. Working with ABC in Tampa, and later the NBC affiliate WFLA in St. Petersburg, Fla., Tuggle gained valuable newsroom experience as a videographer, reporter, producer and editor. Tuggle has seen the field change in significant ways, driven in large part by technology: from film to video, from recorded to live broadcasts and more. In July 1999, Tuggle joined the faculty of the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and helped launch the School's broadcast program. His students have gone on to win national awards for the work produced under his supervision. |
