We’re On Air!

Instead of children watching news reports, now they can step into the spotlight themselves, sitting behind the anchor desk to read from teleprompters or share their own breaking stories. Kids can team up as co-anchors, deliver the weather forecast, or stand in front of a green screen as meteorologists, warning of storms ahead. Meanwhile, another child can take charge of the control board, switching camera angles and directing the action.

Whether you dream of shining on camera or running the show from behind the scenes, the River City News exhibit offers an exciting first step into the fast-paced world of broadcast news.
