Broadcast Journalism
Broadcast journalism plays a pivotal role in high school newspapers by bringing news to life through multimedia storytelling.
Broadcast Creates Unique Opportunities
My Personal Experience
While broadcast journalism is relatively new to me, I understand and appreciate the vital role it has on the Southerner. It provides students with a unique platform to develop essential communication skills, fostering confidence in public speaking, writing, and video production. By offering a dynamic, visual perspective on school events and issues, it engages a wider audience, encouraging active participation in the school community. Moreover, it prepares young journalists for the evolving media landscape, equipping them with skills applicable in the digital age. In high school newspapers, broadcast journalism is a powerful tool for informing, educating, and inspiring both students and the broader community.
Total Editorial Board Focus this Year
Have Certain Cycles where People are Required to do Multimedia &
Assign Specific Editors to the Sections
As an editorial board, we have made a collective effort to prioritize and integrate multimedia this year. We have instituted a system where certain staffers are required to venture and do multimedia on certain cycles so that we have sufficient content to sustain that section. Additionally, we have made new roles on the editorial board where certain staffers are solely dedicated to multimedia. This increases the vibrance and collective effort toward the program.
Looking Forward
Pairing Stories with Multimedia, Easy to at Least Create an Additive Podcast to a Story
As I spend the next year and a half on the paper further, I hope to incorporate and layer multimedia components with lots of my stories, especially because podcasts can easily be compiled from just the interview audio. I think this would add a lot more depths to pieces and create different ways for audiences to engage with the Southerner Online.
The Southerner is distinctive, though, from the Audio Visual Tech Class that produces the Knightly News for Midtown High School community. In the future, I hope to seek partnership with them to boost both of our platforms for the better.
