New news anchors

Here's videos of the students anchoring a news broadcast.



Each student wrote her own script after attending a mock press conference with professors Doug Cumming and Pam Luecke as school officials. Bob de Maria, Indira Somani and Michael Todd had the students reporting, directing and running the teleprompter by the end of the morning.






And here's team leaders Jorge and Katelyn, re-writing a Roanoke Times story for TV.

Two days in Lexington

We laughed, we ran, we ate ice cream. We became a team.
A typical Sunday and Monday in the news industry.

After speed-bonding on day one of the workshop at Washington & Lee University, the students started journalism fun at 7:30 Monday morning. W&L journalism professors led classes in news jargon, interviewing, profile-writing, TV news and reporting. The students also explored W&L's campus on a scavenger hunt for facts and sources.

Two days down; four to go!
