Since 1968, KYW Newsradio has given high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to learn about the inner workings of a major market radio station with the Newstudies student reporter program.

Professionals from various fields – photography, for example – are teaching elective courses through the program, offering their knowledge and then giving the students a chance to develop their skills through real-world experience.

Anchor Danny Rovi earned an Emmy nomination in the talent category for the 4th straight year and our behind the scenes crew of producers and editors picked up nominations for the 5th consecutive year as well.

Under the guidance of dedicated instructors and industry professionals, seven students showcased their innovative capstone projects, demonstrating their proficiency in various areas of IT, from networking to programming to data visualization and analysis. 

As part of their capstone course experience, each student selected a project in a business field that held a special interest.  Their project interests were wide ranging and varied.

Their capstone project is the final piece of a three-year pursuit of learning audio engineering and music production.

To prepare students for future presentations and adhere to best practices in media, the Digital Media Concentration Capstone Cohort was required to present their course projects to a small group of parents, teachers and mentors. 

With the aim of fostering a deep understanding of health sciences and nurturing future leaders in the field, this program offers a comprehensive educational journey like no other.  This new program, joins the 5 other concentrations currently available to our students.
