Welcome to Impact!


Impact is an award-winning television news magazine produced by journalism students at the USC Annenberg School for Communication.

Our stories are as varied as the students who pitch, report, shoot and edit them. Students also host and produce the show, which now airs on more than 50 stations in California and Nevada.

Impact has been honored with several College Television Awards in the documentary and news magazine categories from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
