The Reporters Press Club is structured over three trimesters to immerse kids in the dynamic world of journalism across various media platforms—radio, newspapers, magazines, and TV—with an added focus on creative writing skills. This trimester-based approach enhances engagement and develops comprehensive journalistic abilities.
First Trimester: Exploring Media Platforms and Creative Expression: Students develop an understanding of each media platform, enriched by their ability to express ideas creatively and vividly.
Second Trimester: Developing Reporting, Multimedia Skills, and Storytelling: Gathering News and Story Crafting: Conducting mock interviews, performing simple research tasks and Multimedia Integration. Learning to complement stories with photographs, audio, and video, thus weaving rich multimedia narratives.
Third Trimester: Project Implementation, Creative Writing, and Presentation: Students select their preferred media for a comprehensive project, applying both their journalistic and creative writing skills.
Throughout the program, students not only learn the mechanics of different media but also how to infuse creativity into their journalistic endeavors. They build strong foundations in both factual reporting and creative expression, preparing them to tell compelling stories that resonate across various platforms. This structured approach ensures that by the end of the program, students are confident in their ability to craft engaging, well-rounded media projects that showcase their unique voices and perspectives.
