Ramazine Journalism After School Club visits WGN News Studio

7th and 8th grade students, who are members of the RAMazine journalism after school club, as well as a few other students who have impressed with their writing skills and progress, participated in a field trip to WGN news studio. Students were given a tour of the building and news studios. They were able to explore the different departments that WGN studios has (programming, broadcasting, sales, reporting, etc.). Students watched the LIVE midday news broadcast; they met and interviewed reporters; they met meteorologist Duffy Atkins and learned how the green screen works; they took pictures on
the news set with anchors.  They also learned why writing, algebra, science, communication etc. are
important contents in order to work in various WGN positions.
