Follow my speaker series, Media Makers, as I had conversations with Ladue High School alumni now working in the media business, as well as some of my professional media maker friends.
Using Zoom, students were invited to participate live to ask questions, or watch the video after. They were asked to research important facts about these professionals, blog about what they learned, and then find one to two stories these professionals produced, or collaborated on, to write about in their blog, along with an image(s) related to the story. |

Media reporting around the world has changed. Anyone with a recording device can disseminate news, whether the news is true or false. But simply recording video or posting a blog does not make one a journalist, nor does it make the media they distribute true. In this featured PBS Education article, Don Goble discusses the idea of turning students into journalists, in any class subject, at any grade level.
