The PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs supports teachers and young people to report on important issues in their community, creating impactful video reports for the national NewsHour Extra audience. Along with technical instruction on the use of cameras and editing equipment, this program also includes a meaningful focus on understanding the role of journalism in society and developing broader communication skills, including listening, asking questions, public speaking, and finding, analyzing and evaluating the quality of information.  

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

This curriculum hits the common core writing standards squarely in the heart of the matter:  critical thinking and writing.

Michele Weldon: Capturing authentic narratives

Michele Weldon: Capturing authentic narratives | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it
Journalism can be much more than reporting. An authentic, human narrative touches audiences and keeps them reading. Learn how to shape a human-centered news story, and the importance of facts, context and heart.
Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Teaching the personal narrative with a journalists point of view caputures the authenticity of voice that comes with personal experience while giving the structure and cricitcal thinking opportunties found in jouralism.
