Blue Jay Journal TV is produced by Washington High School's Broadcast Television Class. We are located in the beautiful river town of Washington, Missouri. 

​Our staff produces Blue Jay Journal TV. It includes announcements from our school, as well as other video productions we create, ranging from Public Service Announcements to feature stories. 

We are active members of several regional, state, and national broadcast journalism organizations. Staff members attend workshops, conventions, camps, and contests in order to improve our program and help us grow journalistically.
We are no strangers to social media. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and right here in our own area of the world wide web.

Our program has led to many successful careers for WHS Alumni. We have former BJJTV staff members who are video editors, television producers, on-air personalities for various radio stations, news anchors, and more. 

Do you want to join us?  If you are interested, see Ms. Robertson in Room 1310. (We highly encourage you to take Introduction to Mass Media, too!)
