Channel B News is a daily commercial-free, 5-minute broadcast
of the day's news geared for middle school students, parents,
and staff. The student broadcasting class started in the Fall
of 2004.
Students from Bear Valley began hunting down stories for
their daily news program. What makes this news program different
from others is that everything from story ideas and research
to production is student produced. The news program is broadcast
out to every classroom and office in the school.This talented team of students collaboratively works on
story ideas, interview questions, shooting interviews, editing
the video, writing the anchors scripts, and producing the
show. When it comes down to show time they have put in many
hours getting everything prepared.During the show there are many different jobs that must
be filled. Viewers only see a very small percentage of what
is actually going on while on the air. What you don't see
are the students running the video cameras, media queue,
sound technician, makeup artist, producer, and director.
It may look like the anchors are doing it all, but without
the whole team there wouldn't be much of a show.
Students,
parents, and community members are encouraged to tune
in to the show. Feedback is always welcome, and thanks
for watching!
