Informative, revealing, and entertaining, ANGLE now brings good journalism – as seen in the ANGLE print magazine – to television.

The half-hour magazine show broadcast on TVS strives to foster a sense of community in Western Sydney, and underlines the important role UWS has to play within this community.

From soccer programs for refugee children to multilingual health services and the birthing problems of young mothers in Katoomba, ANGLE sheds light on important local issues. It highlights local achievements in the arts and sports, and focuses on some of the many contributions by researchers of the University of Western Sydney.

ANGLE interviews experts in every show, such as Jack Thompson on the arts in Western Sydney, Professor Ien Ang on multicultural society, Betty Green on domestic violence, or Professor Bill Bellotti on the future of food and farming.

ANGLE is made by students of the School of Communication Arts, with some contributions from community producers such as ICE (Information & Cultural Exchange) in Paramatta. UWS Students present the show and fill all technical roles; they research, film, and edit the stories - and they write all their own on-air texts. UWS students created intros and graphics, and a UWS student band contributes with its good-mood music.

ANGLE is a cross-disciplinary project, integrating PR and advertising students into teams created by journalism and media production majors. Students rose to the challenge of learning new and useful skills and took charge of promoting the show as production wound down.

The core crew of fourth year Bachelor Communication students and others enrolled in Learning through Community Service is supported by a number of interns and volunteers from other departments and schools at UWS.
