As with creating a classroom newspaper, students could also create their own television news broadcast of stories of interest to them and their peers. They could simply video tape their broadcasts or, by creating digital, video-streaming images, they could put clips onto a Web page. In doing so, they are learning about various aspects of television news production, including selecting and writing script for stories, using visual content to convey their ideas, and editing material to capture primary content. They could then reflect on their own and others’ stories in terms of decisions about the newsworthy nature of their stories--the significance, relevance, or value of the story for their intended audiences. |

| Getting
the Message Across is a valuable and accessible tape for
students and others wishing to produce effective videos. This video
does not focus on the technical details of production. Instead,
it helps the video maker think about how to communicate forcefully
by telling a story well. It illustrates this message with off-the-air
examples as well as taped footage. |
