I love CBS Sunday morning. I know their average audiance age is not 28 year old males but there is something I love about this program. I like to study the content of the show. In my classroom I try and focus on techinique and content. Students think immediatly that because it is a news program that it will be boring. This show helps me prove to my students that news can be used as a format but content can vary. Until recently CBS didn't offer video recaps online. The only source of information about the segments was the traditional print jouranlism body of text. CBS was also experimenting with their own version of an online video player that required special downloads. But things have changed, they have now finally offered video recaps of the featured stories with an online video player similar to that of YouTube. I use this in my class every so often to discuss content and taking an audience though an issue while recognizing what is good about people and tallents. The traditional news has a bad rap for being so negative. This program touches the news and confronts issues but also explores the creative passions of people. As a production teacher in a high school I want my students to focus on that is good in the high school. Focus on what student tallents there are. I like to focus on the positive because it can be harder sometimes. Students can find things they don't like about school so easily that it sometimes scares me. I like this model as positive content in a traditional format.
