Inside the Newsroom: Year 9 English G&T students take on The Guardian
On Monday 6th October, six of our Gifted and Talented students from the English and Arts Society attended a workshop at The Guardian. This was a unique experience as students were able to see how newspapers were published but also take part in the process themselves. They explored news stories that were newly released that day and were able to design and craft their own pages using a strict format to mirror The Guardian papers.
During the workshop, students gained insight into the fast-paced environment of a major media organisation. They learnt how stories are selected, shaped and refined before reaching the public. The session encouraged them to think critically about how news influences our understanding of the world. The experience was thoroughly inspiring and allowed students to experience life as an editor.
