NewsHour Student Reporting Labs
MacNeil/Lehrer Productions
Arlington, Virginia
$50,000
The NewsHour Student Reporting Labs will match professional journalist mentors at six stations in five locations—Louisiana Public Broadcasting; Utah Education Network; WHYY, Philadelphia; KLRU/KUT, Austin, Texas; and WHUT, Washington—with local economically disadvantaged and experimental high schools to provide content, curriculum, and support for students. Students will create their own news story segments using and editing clips from the NewsHour, uploading and incorporating their own video content. By building an innovative “cloud computing” space, the NewsHour, stations and students will create digital learning objects for classrooms across the country on the NewsHour’s two existing sites, Patchwork Nation and Student Voices, as well as highlighted on local PBS station Web sites and broadcasts.
