CNN NEWSOURCE
IN THE CLASSROOM
CNN Newsource donates the use of this material through CNN Newsource in the Classroom. It’s our way of assisting the efforts of colleges, universities and secondary schools that are training the world’s future journalism professionals. What better way to help train tomorrow’s journalists than by providing them with access to the same material that is being used by hundreds of local news-producing television stations around the United States and Canada. Schools can add the element of realism to their classrooms by using CNN material in student-produced newscasts that air on campus cable access channels and on other non-commercial stations.
