Pembroke
Community Media is your avenue for grabbing and publicizing news in and about
Pembroke, and also news of interest to us residents.
Every
day there are numerous pertinent Pembroke events and happenings.
At
the beginning of last week's “Indie
Short” article I mentioned the trend of average people capturing news, and
then I thought about community service.
Wouldn’t it be great to offer our town's high school students interested
in journalism and writing, a professional outlet for that news story of
interest to themselves and maybe everyone in Pembroke?
So,
we are welcoming volunteers interested in earning community credit hours by
covering local news this summer.
Everything you need is right here in town at Pembroke Community Media.
No
need to travel to other towns, work with strangers, or be limited by regular
business hours.

Community
Service hours are earned by answering basic questions about particular
events: The who, what, where, when, why
and how of Pembroke happenings.
This
is your chance for:
·
Interviewing
Police Officers involved in local crime and justice.
·
Interviewing
local sports stars to ask what makes them able to do what they do.
·
Interviewing
Town employees or selectmen to discover why they make certain decisions.
·
Interviewing
teachers or school administrators to find out what the next school year will
bring…And more
And
just as a topping on the cake, new research conducted for the Newspaper
Association Foundation found that student journalists earn better high school
grades, perform at higher levels on college entrance exams, and receive higher
grades in college writing and grammar courses than students lacking that
experience.
So, what are you waiting for? Call 781-910-8899 or contact us through www.pembrokecommunitymedia.com
to spend the most enjoyable and productive part of your summer earning
community service hours by covering local news.
