December 29, 2011 Program Spotlight: Press Pass TV
Press Pass TV is a nonprofit organization that engages youth in advocacy journalism to tell the stories of communities working for change. PPT believes that storytelling empowers people to find solutions to community issues and envision a better world.
PPT works with Boston and Worcester area middle school and high school students to produce short news segments that tackle underrepresented social justice issues and celebrates those organizations and individuals working to make their community a better place. Students engage in all aspects of production, from developing questions to editing video.
Recent psychological studies show that when people are exposed to others engaging in benevolent acts, they are more likely to do the same. Press Pass TV operates on this principle and know that for real change to occur, people must regularly witness the amazing acts that others commit on a daily basis.
