"Broadcasting from the heart of Spokane..."

At the start of every Tuesday afternoon the digital photography room at Rogers High School is bustling with activity. Students hurry to write stories and
setup cameras and computers.

Three students prepare the weekly newscast.
What follows is often hard to keep a quiet through. The students participating in this after school project are making news, their way. Each week dedicated teens scour the web for the most interesting news stories, rewrite them, and videotape a newscast for web broadcast. What qualifies as "most interesting" makes for a lively discussion of the current news, which is exactly what the program is designed to encourage. The day's anchor rarely makes it through a story without cracking up, but thats ok, bloopers are included in the cast. This news team thinks that makes it more fun for teens to watch. After the newscast is completed the rest of the afternoon is spent working on individual video projects for their online tv channel. Topics include piercings in the workplace, the Rogers drum corp, and video game reviews. TINCAN's Virtual Teen Center has partnered with KXLY tv to provide opportunities in the near future for teens to learn from professionals and have their voices heard by a larger audience.
