Students produce their own news program: A look behind the scenes!

Bad Dürkheim, Deutschland - An exciting project took place at the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium in Bad Dürkheim! As part of the SWR project "Class: News", students produced their own news program for television and Instagram reels. The prospective media professionals had the unique opportunity to work in the state -of -the -art digital television studio from OK: TV Mainz, which is equipped with cutting sites and editorial rooms.

The activities around the explosive topic of fake news and deep fakes were about for a whole day. The students wrote moderations, produced films and conducted surveys and interviews. They took over all tasks themselves - from moderation to the editorial team to directing, mask and cut. At the end of the exciting project day, the young people proudly presented their own news program, inspired by "SWR Aktuell"!
