Student journalists at Theodore, Baker and Bayside going digital

Wed, 05/01/2013 - 2:45pm
This year seems to mark a turn in how Mobile and Baldwin county schools approach social media and digital journalism. Three of the four schools at today’s newspaper workshop currently operate Twitter accounts: Theodore, Baker and Bayside Academy. They use the social platform to share information about upcoming events at their school, sports scores and other information. Bayside Academy shares news and stories online, on their website, and Baker High School posts PDFs of their student paper online. Sara Frye | sfrye@al.com http://connect.al.com/user/sfrye/index.html
