FOX CT STUDENT NEWS PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
As you know, journalism is about change, recording it and acting on
it. The FoxCT Student News' program has recently implemented
changes to help students better prepare for multi platform
journalism, both for college and the job market.
The Details
* We will use one of the highest visibility platforms in the state,
CTnow.com, to showcase the work of the students. Using the web
allows us to add to the information in the stories.
* No longer will students be limited to a 50 second news story. Now
they will be able to tell their stories using three distinctive
formats, text, video, and pictures.
* Students journalist who previously had only worked in print or
stills can now be integrated into this program.
* We've redesigned our
Student News page in order to make it a destination for news
by, for and about Connecticut students.
* Each story will have its own unique page with a URL students,
parents or schools can post to social media like Facebook, Twitter
or Google +.
Students will submit stories that will meet the following
requirements:
* Video up to 90 seconds uploaded to a dedicated YouTube
account
* Up to 10 photos, with captions, uploaded to a dedicated photo
sharing service
* Minimum 200 word text story that includes links to the subject
matter
We urge new teachers and schools to participate in this
program.
