We Say #NeverAgain: Reporting by the Parkland Student Journalists
We Say #NeverAgain: Reporting by the Parkland Student Journalists | Melissa Falkowski, Eric Garner
3 posts | 3 read | 8 to read
A journalistic look at the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and the fight for gun control--as told by the student reporters for the school's newspaper and TV station. This timely and media-driven approach to the Parkland shooting, as reported by teens in the journalism and broadcasting programs and in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas newspaper, is an inside look at that tragic day and the events that followed that only they could tell. It showcases how the teens have become media savvy and the skills they have learned and honed--harnessing social media, speaking to the press, and writing effective op-eds. Students will also share specific insight into what it has been like being approached by the press and how that has informed the way they interview their own subjects.

This was a very powerful book. I can't even imagine what these students were feeling, but this book did an amazing job explaining how they were feeling and how they have had enough. That they never want anyone else to feel the way they are feeling. I feel this was is a must read and a perfect read right before Election Day. The above picture is from the March for Their Lives. I hope their voice is heard in the upcoming election.

This was really really well done. I am incredibly impressed by the quality of writing and reporting that these young students, who have been through so much have put out. These kids are our future. They are smart, and motivated. This book was not overly political, and made an attempt present multiple sides to the story. And I cried through most of it

Lovesbooks87 I have about a hundred pages left and this morning as I read it I kept getting chills. Such a powerful message! 6y
gradcat I thought the kids who spoke on TV were so erudite & well spoken...I can imagine that this would be an extension of that “presence” that they seemed to have when interviewed by reporters. 6y

I decided to start with this one for two reasons 1) I‘ve had it out from the library the longest and 2) I felt like I should read it before Tuesday‘s election.
This is heart wrenching. It opens with the teachers‘ accounts of what happened and then contains many student essays about the events of that day or the aftermath. They are kids. We must do better for their generation. #votethemout
