Can
teens make a difference
in their communities? Yes, they can. High school, junior high and
middle
school students can have a voice and use it to create a better place
to live. NewsOhio can
show them the way!
Here's
how it works:
NewsOhio combines a weekly 20-minute television show with
the resources and interaction of this Web site to explore topics like
citizenship, voting, First Amendment rights, health and social service
issues - and how they affect communities.
Broadcast
students at Kent State's School of Journalism and Mass Communication
receive weekly video news packages from CNN.
They present three or four stories each week that should be of interest
to
teens and help them see "news" is not simply something
on television or in the newspaper - it has meaning to them.
Tape the shows Fridays from 4:30 to 4:50
a.m. on WVIZ/PBS in Cleveland. The station serves a 17-county Northeast
Ohio market, which includes the metropolitan areas of Cleveland and Akron.
Show the tapes in class or use the streaming video on the Web site.
