our annual Veterans Recognition Ceremony written by junior Kaitlin Clutter . All of our district and building administration retweet links to our stories , and when students see that , it reassures them that their work is worthwhile .
And the results are immediate . “ We can provide information and news at a faster rate compared to the time it takes to produce a newspaper or a news magazine ,” said Simonini .
Another advantage to generating stories that the entire Manchester community can read is that students are able to build their journalistic portfolios as they hone real-world journalistic skills in real time . Students are live-tweeting from school events and creating multimedia videos and slideshows to accompany their online stories , and the community as a whole supports our program now more than ever .
From writing and editing to layout and promotion on social media , student journalists who are involved in our journalism program will be prepared with skills that transcend across college majors and all careers , not just those in the realm of communications .
What made the difference for us is that everyone across the board worked together towards a common goal : turning our student journalists into professionals .
