Mass Media's Unforgettable Impact

BY GRACE PUKSTA


       Filled with an array of diverse students, one crazy blonde intern, and a teacher who’s always stylin’ in colored pants and Converse – ASP’s Mass Media class was ready to break new bounds with their intellect and thrive for creativity. With every project and class discussion the students exploded with enthusiasm and vivacity.
        After every project the class gathered to watch and critique one another’s works. Everyone would laugh and make jokes, but come away with new knowledge and ideas for the next project. Some assignments had the whole class involved, (newspaper, Friday Night Live) and students were forced to work together as a large group. But this was not a problem for these Mass Media personnel. They took it as a challenge, and set off with late nights in the study room and early morning interviews. Each student did their part while the rest of the school watched in admiration.
        Mass Media students were the talk of the school. With chapel announcements every other day about upcoming articles, podcasts, Twitter feeds… etc – the rest of the ASPers were well aware of the St. Paul’s news. The media kids were seen running around with cameras and voice recorders, coaxing other students to join in their madness and participate in videos, and dancing through public buildings in full custom. These are only a few of the adventures the class participated in.
        Mass Media had a huge impact on every ASP students’ experience. They will be remembered as social, outgoing, active, adventurous, hard working, dedicated, creative, and the journalists of St. Paul’s. Mass Media kids won’t be forgotten, and their work will carry on as a template of excellence for the classes to come.
