WMHT

Today the students in the CEP Journalism class had the opportunity to visit WMHT. The students had to wake up very early to make their tour. Many of them woke up at 6:30am to be at the designated meeting area by 7:00am. The students were more than enthusiastic about going and it seemed like they learned a lot.

Earlier in the month the students in the CEP Journalism class got to visit News Channel 13. Students noticed vast differences between the two stations. For example, News Channel 13 is a commercial broadcast and makes some of their money though the commercials that they advertise. WMHT is a non-for profit organization and focuses strictly on educational programing. They apply for grants from the government, and raise money through fundraisers. Both of these field trips have been very educational and informative. The students in the CEP Journalism class look forward to similar field trips in the future.
