“The Northside,” is a newsmagazine show produced by Community Middle School
8th graders and Freshmen and Sophomores from High School North (HSN). The
premiere show featured five stories from events happening at both Community
& HSN. The two stories featured from HSN were the Mr. North Pageant and
four Cross Country Runners who achieved national recognition. The CMS
stories included the AMIGOS “March of Fashion” fashion show, Teen Zone
nights, and the 8th grade girls basketball team who completed their second
straight season undefeated.&nb sp; The program will air every Thursday
through Sunday at 6:00pm for the whole month of March with a new program
being produced for each month after that.
The purpose of the cable program is to highlight special events, activities,
and people recognitions taking place at either Community Middle School or
High School North. Mr. Lepore, Community’s 8th Grade TV Production & 7th
Grade Journalism teacher serves as the executive producer of the show, and
the students serve as the producers, directors, camera people, sound people,
and other crew members for the production of the show. In addition to
producing, the students conduct interviews, write, and edit the stories
included in each broadcast.
“The Northside” is a natural extension and application of the TV Production
and Broadcast Writing electives that students take at both Community Middle
School and High School North. Students involved in the production of this
cable program use the writing skills and video/television production
knowledge they have acquired from the classes in order to produce a quality
television program for their community.
Each program airs for the entire month every Thursday through Sunday at
6:00pm on Channel 3 in Plainsboro and Channel 27 in West Windsor.
