Length: :49
DELIVERY: Good delivery and stand-up.
INTERVIEWS: Good. Suggestions: a representative from the CT Dept. of Health. – website: http://www.dph.state.ct.us/

EDITING: See video notes.
OVERALL: This is an interesting concept to air in the coming months. The script will need to be reworked to reflect the overall issue. The student news stories are aired in a rotation of 8 airings throughout the year, by placing your story just in the fall it is already outdated for airing this summer.
