Al.com reports on a Catholic school video journalism class:
Students in McGill-Toolen Catholic High School’s video journalism class are getting hands-on experience with real-time news: they produce segments which are aired daily on the school’s closed circuit television system.
The school channel has daily announcements as well as anti-drug commercials which the students produce. On Thursdays, students tape interviews with the school’s president, the Rev. Bry Shields, who said the segments foster better communication.
“Corporately, every organization thrives on frequent communication,” said Shields. “It is particularly helpful in a school community for both faculty and students to hear from the head of the school on a regular basis. For the students, it provides them the opportunity to become more confident in their ability to speak in public and to gain technical skills in producing a broadcast.”He said the questions from students concern “the life of the school, political and social questions, and questions about the Church and about the understanding of our faith.”
