About the Project

Many students face challenges in engaging effectively with media, limiting their ability to think critically and navigate digital content responsibly. To address this, a mixed-media journalism club will be established to mirror real-world media experiences. Students will learn to responsibly share information, recognize bias, and identify misinformation. By modeling ethical journalism, the program will equip students with essential media literacy skills. In addition to working with the on-campus drama elective, the club will collaborate with the high school Film Club and Digital Media Team, creating a vertically aligned learning experience. The club will serve as a hub for campus, district, and community news, strengthening connections among students, families, and the broader community. A weekly news show will provide students with a platform to inform and engage their peers. This initiative will empower students to use their voices, advocate, and become thoughtful, responsible media creators and consumers.
