Associated Press Published 2:40 p.m. UTC Jun 6, 2018 New York – Facebook says it will fund original news shows created by such news organizations as ABC, CNN and Mic. The move comes as Facebook plans to kill off its “trending” news section to make way for what it considers “trustworthy” and “informative” news. Despite efforts to clamp down, the company continues to grapple with fake news and misinformation, not to mention plain old “click bait” on its users’ news feeds. Campbell Brown, Facebook’s head of news partnerships, says the shows will be original and exclusive to Facebook, rather than adapting TV programs from elsewhere for a Facebook audience. The shows will appear in Facebook’s Watch video section. Brown declined to say how much Facebook is paying for the shows. They will be available in the U.S. this summer. … [Read more...] about Facebook to fund news shows from ABC, CNN, others

Broadcast 101: Springfield fourth-graders produce weekly news show
Claudette Riley [email protected] Published 3:00 p.m. UTC Jun 4, 2018 At David Harrison Elementary, a student-led broadcast news show is taking the idea of "cub reporters" to the extreme. From behind a news desk, fourth-graders Maxwell Reiserer and Katelee Dodd anchored the weekly news show. The pair served as the faces of DHE-K4 News, but nearly 30 students were involved. "We didn't want the job. We got picked for it, which was pretty cool," Dodd said. "It might look like hard work, but it is fun." Principal Chris Parker, who retires this summer, created the broadcast journalism class in early 2017 and recruited students interested in reporting, writing, filming, editing and producing the weekly show. She viewed the show as an innovative learning laboratory. They practiced technical and communication skills. Students volunteered to be part of the class that met every afternoon during the school's Personal Learning Time. Over the course of each week, students … [Read more...] about Broadcast 101: Springfield fourth-graders produce weekly news show
