Capturing the Magic

The students in the Capture the Magic Jterm have all progressed remarkably since Day 1. From speaking with several news reporters to visiting NBC Studios and Twitter, they have learned so much over the past 2 weeks. “My Jterm has not only taught me all about the aspects of journalism and public relations, but that it is important to follow a lead by any means possible and that persistence pays off and that same persistence is reflected in your work,” says Ben Baturka, VI Form. They have had several projects every day, and the experience they've gained is exhibited through how much more professional their works have become. And now that Jterm has come to an end, they have all learned how to truly Capture the Magic.

Aspiring Journalists Take J-Term by Storm

The Capturing the Magic J-Term, filled with young, aspiring journalists, has been tasked to report on the various other courses that are taking place at EA. The students utilize different types of media to market and recap J-Term. From short movies to radio spots, the aspiring reporters take advantage of the technology around them in order to get their word out there. Throughout the two weeks of J-Term, Dr. Locke’s news team has used movies, articles, tweets, photos, radio spots, stories, interviews, Facebook posts, and photo books as mediums for both communication and journalism. These young journalists are publicizing J-Term and EA by utilizing the media at their fingertips. Hopefully, the Capturing the Magic students can take these skills into college and beyond.
