Teen Newsroom

Service Description

Ever wondered what it takes to report the stories that shape your community? In Teen Newsroom, students will step into the role of real journalists, learning the fundamentals of reporting, interviewing, fact-checking, news writing, photography, and media ethics from a professional journalist and special guest speakers from the field. Throughout this 12-week course, students will explore the responsibilities of the press, develop critical thinking skills, and gain hands-on experience covering stories that matter. Along the way, they'll build confidence as writers, researchers, and communicators while learning how to identify credible sources and report with accuracy and integrity. The semester culminates in a special publication produced in partnership with the Floyd Times, giving students the opportunity to see their work shared with the community. Family and friends will also be invited to a special Press Night celebration showcasing student stories and achievements. ***Thanks to the generosity of a community donor, Teen Newsroom is offered completely tuition-free, ensuring every interested student has the opportunity to participate.***
