The Multimedia Journalism option focuses on the preparation of students for careers in all aspects of news production. Our students learn to tell stories and report information that will be distributed on multiple platforms. On our NEWS3 TV newscast, students learn to gather news, cover news events, edit news packages and produce and direct half-hour live newscasts that reach Macomb and McDonough County viewers. Students will also learn to write for print and digital-based media. There are opportunities to be reporters and anchors (news, weather and sports), as well as to produce and direct newscasts. Many of our students also contribute to the student-run newspaper, the Western Courier.
