STUDENTS TURN THEIR CLASSROOMS INTO NEWSROOMS WITH A DYNAMIC NEW PRODUCT
FROM TOM SNYDER PRODUCTIONS

Watertown, MA, June 23, 1995 -- Tom Snyder Productions announces the
release of Classroom Newspaper Workshop, an interactive software program
for grades 3-7 which takes students step-by-step through every phase of
planning, writing, and designing a newspaper. The product costs $149.95
and is available for Macintosh computers on both disk and CD-ROM.

Classroom Newspaper Workshop was designed by Dr. Peter Owens who has 27
years experience as a teacher, journalist, and college professor. The
program begins by introducing students to the basic skills of
brainstorming ideas and planning interviews. It then covers the
fundamentals of journalism: taking notes, writing, and editing a story.
Classroom Newspaper Workshop even coaches students in basic layout,
photography, and design skills, as well as specific subject reporting,
including history, science, music, arts, and sports.

According to a recent report by the Carnegie Foundation on grades 1-5,
schools do not teach language skills or promote civic virtues enough.
Classroom Newspaper Workshop provides an antidote to these ills by
facilitating journalism in classrooms and encouraging schools to build
relationships with their communities.

Classroom Newspaper Workshop's unique learning environment uses hands-on
lessons to help students develop and sharpen their thinking, listening,
writing, and organizing skills. The program's software is comprehensive,
easy to navigate basic enough for children to use on their own or in small
groups. It is the ideal marriage of technology and a proven approach to
teaching journalism.

Classroom Newspaper Workshop includes 30 Reporter's Notebooks, electronic
newspaper templates, and a comprehensive Teacher's Guide. There is also a
Sponsorship Kit which helps teachers obtain support for their journalism
projects from community organizations.
