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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In the wake of the horrific events of Feb. 14, 2018, these kids were staked to a complex intersection of roles, as traumatized victims, subjects in national news stories, activists and journalists at the center of an event that captivated the country. How they worked their way through this while also being teenagers is the subject of these pieces, which are read by the students and two of their teachers, Melissa Falkowski and Eric Garner.... In their direct actions, their certitude and their honesty, the journalism students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas are a case study in what to do when things fall apart." (The New York Times Book Review)

"An impressive roundup of eloquent, well-reasoned, and inspiring writing." (Publishers Weekly)

"An arresting account of capable young people drawn together by a journalistic mission even as they negotiate their own grief, fear, and anger....simultaneously raw and poised." (Bulletin)

disjointed

Super disjointed with different stories read by different people. Great idea. But the requirements for hooking your audience with a story are still the same, regardless of how you present your material (novel, short story, essays, poetry, whateva).
They could have organized the essays by timeline which would have made this much more powerful.
Things I liked: ch 34, some of the stories are quite powerful and gut-wrenching, some of the insights and
Things I didn't like: a collection of essays poorly organized, information/stories I didn't care about.

Deceiving

I was hoping for some stories about how the survivors have moved on , or not? I did not spend my money to hear how much president Trump is hated as well as politics related to the NRA !!!! Terrible book and NOT politically UN BIASED!
