Caddo Magnet School in Shreveport is one of the six schools participating in the nationwide PBS NewsHour Extra journalism lab project. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has awarded the NewsHour Extra a $300,000 grant for the Student Reporting Lab.
“The project will examine how broadband connectivity, open-source platforms, and public media can help to produce an informed and engaged public,” the NewsHour announcement said. The project runs from February 2010 to January 2011. NewsHour journalists will provide footage, sources and industry mentors for the Student Reporting Lab.
Over the course of the project, students will develop and report on three topics, using video, blogs and podcasts to showcase their final products. Final reports will be featured on the NewsHour Web site, YouTube and other venues.
Caddo Magnet media teacher Robert Trudeau is coordinating the project in Shreveport and Louisiana: The State We’re In 
Producer/Anchor Shauna Sanford is acting as a mentor to the students.
