Live from Christiansburg High ...
Apparently a few kids at Christiansburg High School aren't worried about the dire forecasts of the news industry.
Or, maybe they actually are listening. Students in Kim Gross's journalism classes are hopping on the online news bandwagon, and posting school-centered news stories online this semester. And, Gross is looking toward starting a schoolwide broadcast news show for the Demons as well.
The idea is to place flat-screen monitors throughout the school's commons area for the student body to watch while they eat and mingle and lunch. The implications, she said, could be widespread and used for events such as graduation down the line.
Although Gross admits she's stalled now, she hopes to get the show going as early as next year. Until then, students will begin producing broadcast news spots that could be posted online.
