An impromptu Iranian Election protest at Dallas City Hall presented an opportunity for iMedia's Summer Media Camp participants to put their newly acquired portable production skills to work. The kids received a crash course in what had been taking place half a world away and the impact it had on Iranian-Americans living here. Although it was a peaceful protest, emotions were running very high and the young reporters were very nervous. After the first interview with a protestor, it was difficult to keep them from interviewing anyone who would talk to them. They were hooked.
After an hour in the 100 plus degree heat, Chris Connolly, Dallas iMedia Network's Director of Media Education wrangled the reluctant young journalists back into the air-conditioning. The kids quickly began writing the "ins" and "outs" the anchors would use to help tell the story. They named their show "Politi-Kids." One of the kids said it's corny but you get what it's about. Aiden O'Leary, one of the anchors had this to say in his closing segment, "This show is a world view from a kid's view. So turn off your video game for a minute and take a look around. This will be your world one day and you'll need to know what's going on." (read entire story)
