Video Critique Assignments & Backgrounders
Please see your judging assignments below. Under your name is a list of the student media outlets you have been assigned to critique, including a link to information about the student media outlet and a link to three programs from this student media outlet to critique.
Please view at least 20 minutes of each of the submitted newscasts, and read the backgrounder.
Please write plenty of comments on the critique form letting students know what they have done well and what needs improvement. Please write the constructive comments as though you and your students were going to be the recipients of them! Please be gentle, thoughtful and helpful. We suggest you find at least 1-3 positive things and at least 1-3 recommendations for each area of the critique.
Please submit completed critiques by within 1 month of receipt.
