Seneca Valley students host news show
JACKSON TWP — The front corner of the Seneca Valley Senior High School is the home of the Seneca Scout, a weekly broadcast news show run completely by students.
A class of eight puts together the show from scratch each week, finding and writing stories, producing video packages, running the cameras and other equipment and getting in front of the camera to report the news.
The class is called video production 2b: broadcast news, said Dan McKosky, the video production teacher. It’s a semester-long course teaching students everything about broadcast news.
Students each write a story for the weekly broadcast and take turns producing the show. McKosky said he also tries to rotate the students through the various on-camera and behind-the-scenes technical positions including camera, teleprompter, audio and graphics.
