Student Reporting Labs

The PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs initiative is building the next generation of public media with a unique digital journalism curriculum, local PBS station mentors and the opportunity to tell important community stories to the world.

PBS SoCal serves as a connector between schools and the PBS Newshour team. The station finds mentors for schools, gives studio tours, and creates opportunities for students to interact with their peers, PBS SoCal staff and other journalism professionals.
