Headline News
This month we focused on headline news. A headline is the gist of the whole news. It is important because it helps the viewer to identify the nature of the news so they don't have to read through the whole story to understand what is happening. The headlines appeal to viewers, the more interesting the headlines, the more likely viewers are to watch. This month our stories range from murders and arrests to climate change and sports. Anchored by Ryan Dierssen '23 and Thomas Sherman '23. Contributing reporters Broadcast 2: Danny Alvarez '23, Ryan Dierssen '23, Rocco Dominguez '23, Julie Lomurno '23, Lena Palushaj '23, Elise Stuetz '23, Dean Williams.
