NewsHour Extra report from Academy for Global Studies and the Media Lab at Austin HS

KLRU has been selected to participate in on a pilot program for students around the country to create their own NewsHour Reports and share them on NewsHour Extra (the student and teacher web site of the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer).

The program, called Student Reporting Labs, teams up individual classrooms with local area journalists, and the national NewsHour Team. Other cities selected to participate include have Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, Salt Lake City, UT, Slidell, LA and Middletown, CT.

KLRU partnered with KUT on the project to mentor the students from Academy for Global Studies and the Media Lab at Austin HS. Each term students will work on a different story: first term the focus is Supreme Court, second term the focus is climate and the third term they can pitch any topic they want. In addition to sharing any completed stories on NewsHour Extra, KLRU may use them on-air or online.
