SUMMARY: A contest sponsored by PBS NewsHour Extra and Google asked students to create a digital mash-up looking back at 2014. Judy Woodruff talks with three high schoolers who entered the #MyZeitgeist competition about deciding what events made their year-in-review videos and how their generation gets its news.
HARI SREENIVASAN (NewsHour): Now a different take on the year that was.
Judy Woodruff recently talked to several teenagers about the stories that caught their eyes in 2014, and explored how technology affects what they see and hear about the news.
JUDY WOODRUFF (NewsHour): “NewsHour Extra,” our Web site for teachers and students, has partnered with Google for what we’re calling the MyZeitgeist Year in Review contest.
More than 1,000 students from around the world created digital mash-ups, images and videos edited together, highlighting the most important stories of 2014. We don’t know who won yet. That won’t be announced until midnight, December 31.
But, in the meantime, to find out more about how young people view current events, we have invited three students who entered the contest from T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia.
