My Work with PBS made it to NewsHour!

So a little over a month ago I posted a blog about the work my team and I have done with PBS. While I thought that getting to their website would be the most coverage that our piece would get I was so very wrong.

On April 10th, 2018 our piece was played on national television seen all across the county on that day’s PBS NewsHour episode! I was so amazing to think that millions of people saw our piece! While no of us who worked on it were able to see it live, because we found out it went like about an hour after the episode aired, it was still so cool!

 

We are hoping to continue these good pieces and we just submitted the final drafts our next two pieces so we will see how those go!

Check out the full episode that our Tiny Coders was aired on!

The Work I Have Done with PBS

So my school’s journalism program has been working with PBS NewsHour through their Student Reporting Labs (SRL) Programs.  Three other students and I and been working them to produce feature stories. We have been partnered with them since November and it has been an amazing experience. While I will talk about that a bit more in another post, it has been super exciting the last couple of days so I wanted to tell you a little bit about that.

We have been working on a video feature story for a while now about this program called Code to the Future, which is available in three different Loudoun County elementary schools. While we are still waiting to find out if it will be made on PBS NewsHour, but it is on their website!

We also worked with them on Wednesday, March 14th to cover the Nationwide School Walkouts, which took place at my school and many others across the county. Our footage along with 15 other schools nationwide, was made into a 2-minute video and put on many different social media platforms.

It’s been such a cool experience, and while definitely stressful at times I am so proud of what we have accomplished!
