In this season finale of Speaking in First Draft, we dive into the world of student journalism with inspiring guests from the P.S. Weekly Podcast. Created by The Bell, a nonprofit committed to empowering students to become journalists and preserve independent media, P.S. Weekly explores pressing issues facing students and teachers in New York City schools.
Today's guests have investigated in their own podcast episodes a variety of these specific issues, from why AP Calculus is valuable to the curriculum, the shortcomings of the school bus system for disabled students, and the lasting impacts of the rise of school mergers. So, please welcome high school student journalists Noa Salas Adam, Mateo Tang O’Reilly, and Rayleen Laloi, as well as The Bell Staff members Sabrina DuQuesnay and Mira Gordon.
Listen to these brilliant students chat with Girls Write Now Mentor Ana Yglesias about how they found their journalistic voices through research and podcast development.
