STUDENTS from Ferryhill Business and Enterprise College have taken part in a newswriting workshop organized by a public relations company.
M.A.D Communications, from Sunderland gave the students a ‘master class’ in how to write and publish news stories.
The students, who will now be known as the Ferryhill News Hounds, will work together to identify and share news stories that are happening within their school.
The new initiative coincided with the BBC News’ eighth annual School Report News Day, which saw over 30,000 students from more than 1,000 schools participate in news reports and broadcasts from within their schools.
