Newton News: Interning during a Pandemic 

Summer of Meetings

There have been a lot of municipal meetings this summer, and our Government Channel has been there every step of the way to broadcast them. In the first weeks of summer alone, they broadcasted over 67 hours of City meetings. 

 
August saw an increase in the amount of School Committee meetings as the Committee discussed and voted on school reopening plans for the fall. They ultimately voted for a hybrid plan with parents deciding if their children will receive some in-person schooling or stick to fully remote learning. The elementary schools will start with this plan while the middle schools will start with remote learning and may transition to some in-person schooling as the fall progresses. The high schools are expected to remain remote for the foreseeable future. 

Producers in the Studio and on Zoom

NewTV's studio has been available for limited hours since July 6. It has been great to see members getting back into the groove of things and back at NewTV to film their shows. 

It's also been great to see members continue to innovate and get creative with Zoom. Through Zoom, our members have been able to produce shows with guests from across the country and even the globe. Even if you haven't been able to travel this past summer, it's not too late to transport yourself with our shows. See an interview with guests from Sicily on Virginia's Views and Vibes, or listen to professors from Tel Aviv University on Innovation Showcase.
