Hey, Arlington Heights. Adam Harris here, your Communications Coordinator
and I've been breaking news to you guys from District 25 for the last
Couple years that I've worked here via Facebook and via video,
but if you're looking for more news about the Arlington Heights community
I've got you covered with my news team right here. The Arlington Heights News Update.
That's what they do. They put together bi-weekly videos updating the Arlington Heights community on
anything Arlington Heights...events and things like that.
I'll let them tell you more about it in a second and they can tell you their website and everything like that
But the motivation came from them thinking there is a need for people to understand news
about their town.
Hyperlocal journalism, and they're doing this on their own, all outside of school
but it's a really cool thing. So we're gonna start off....
So we got got Danny right there. Yeah, that's Danny. That's Russell
That's TJ back there. That's Sanjay and that is Quinn.
We're gonna ask them to tell us a little bit about their organization...
So I help in
reporting local sports.
And I help in news if needed like filming and other stuff like that...honing the script.
So really the mission of the company is
to make the news in Arlington Heights accessible to more people in Arlington Heights
so you don't have to go like search on websites or
go get the newspaper pay for the newspaper because it's free on YouTube.
But you can easily just watch the video.
Find the stuff that you want. You can skip through it. So there's no searching needed, and there's no...
It's it's a lot more accessible and easier for you to find.
<off screen> Like on the go?
Yes, yeah
Yeah, we want it to be like if there's something in the community
People can just look at their phones, and they'll know what's going on
and then they can just have that information right there.
