🎥📰 Field Trip Highlight!
Last Friday, January 16, Mrs. Thomas took her Journalism 2 students and yearbook managers to Joplin, MO, for an exciting behind-the-scenes tour of KSN 16 and KODE 12. Students learned how a news broadcast comes together as they explored areas where producers and staff work to run the show, toured the studio set, and even watched the KSN 16 live newscast.
During a commercial break, the news anchors invited the students to join them on set—and the group had the unforgettable experience of being live on air at the end of the broadcast! This hands-on opportunity gave students a firsthand look at broadcast media and introduced them to a variety of career paths in journalism.
📺✨ What an incredible learning experience!
