The U.S.-based Link TV channel recently released an online learning tool focused on creating international television news.

At knowthenews.tv, students create their own news stories by editing video from international TV news reports, and their own news-talk program using out-takes from a broadcast series. When students publish their news "remixes," site visitors rate them for journalistic qualities including fairness, accuracy and style.

Professors can upload news clips for their students to edit, and access a variety of tools that will help them teach News Literacy and track their students' work.

To learn more, go to http://www.linktv.org/knowthenews.

Know the News is now enlisting journalism professors who are interested in using these tools in their classrooms. For an invitation and a class code, or to learn more, contact knowthenews@linktv.org.
