STUDIO BRIEF:

This studio explores contemporary media influencers, community news media, and will build a student news platform (relating to news happening in our community) with an editorial board that privileges a student point of view. This studio is the contemporary take on ‘the school paper’-- creating a media channel for the school which will report on local issues and explore the values of local and public news media. This studio will help students develop their public voice in a safe and dynamic fashion so that they can speak-up and analyze public discourse, from legacy media to community television to Tic-Toc journalism.
