Hello Spartan families,

We are excited to introduce a new elective for next school year: Digital Media & Broadcast Journalism!
This hands-on course gives students the opportunity to be part of a campus media team while learning the fundamentals of digital media, broadcasting, and publication production. Throughout the year, students will:
Produce a video newscast every 1–2 weeks
Create a weekly digital newsletter
Write scripts and cover school stories and events
Learn camera operation, audio and lighting techniques, and video editing
Explore media ethics, copyright, and effective communication skills
This course is ideal for students who are creative, enjoy technology, like working in teams, or are interested in careers such as journalism, marketing, film, broadcasting, public relations, or digital media. There are opportunities for both on-camera roles and behind-the-scenes production, including writing, editing, photography, and technical support.

Digital Media & Broadcast Journalism helps students build valuable real-world skills in communication, collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving — skills that are beneficial for both college and future careers.

If your student is interested in enrolling for next year, please have them contact their school counselor for more information. https://vghs.cguhsd.org/o/vghs/page/counseling

Thank you,
VGHS Counseling Department
