In what other program can a student interview an Oscar winner, write a book review, take photos of the Homecoming game, design a front page, sell ads to local businesses, and reach an audience both authentic and worldwide? The presentation reflects on my 30 years in Boston newspapers and my decade working with hundreds of Pre-K-12 students each year.
