Students at The Grays School Media Arts College continue working on their local news story by going to Grays town centre to edit their local news story using iMovie. When it's finished, their mentor Judy Aslett views the story with the students and gives them some feedback.
The students have to practise editing and scripting a news story using eSEQ, the online editing tool. Sean Delaney, their teacher, introduces the challenge: the students have one and a half hours to produce a story about avian flu using ITN rushes supplied by Channel 4 News. Judy Aslett, their mentor, arrives and helps students with their scripts. Sean is very positive about the exercise and says the students are learning the process of newsmaking and practising their literacy skills in a real life situation.
Meanwhile at Channel 4, Nina Harrison from ITN and Susan Millard from Channel 4 have the tricky task of choosing two presenters for the Breaking the News bulletin. Each school has sent in audition tapes of two students reading short news items they have scripted themselves.
