Introduction
Kid Witness News (KWN) is a hands-on video education program created
to encourage students to develop
valuable cognitive, communication and organizational skills through the
use of video. This unique program provides
schools with an array of video equipment
and offers participants the opportunity to develop their interests, abilities
and
creativity through the production of videos.
Kid Witness News was developed and is
supported by Panasonic in conjunction with thepublic school system
in
more than 200 participating schools. Under teacher
supervision, students research, write, act in, produce, direct and edit
a variety of videos which bring to life subjects they are learning about
in school. The students' videos feature current events, news reports, public
service announcements and interviews with prominent individuals, as well
as many other topics which are relevant to today's youth. Their creative
works are then submitted for review in the annual "New Vision" Awards video
contest.
