Congrats to the Reporting Lab at John Hopkins Middle School, which just took first place in the documentary category for the Educational Media Awards! The winning piece was their look at violence at their school, entitled “Fighting Chance.”
High school journalism teacher Laura Denue leads a small group discussion as a production crew tapes footage for a PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs video.
How does violence affect students’ ability to learn? That’s what eighth-grader De’Qonton Davis and his classmates set out to investigate as part of the NewsHour’s Student Reporting Labs project in partnership with PBS station WEDU in Tampa. The students produced a unique video report that they hope President Obama will see.

All of us will be forever indebted to PBS and Student Reporting Labs for introducing us to the real world of video reporting. As a result, I know several of my students are seriously planning on pursuing careers in electronic journalism, and for them, this experience has been invaluable.
