Being in front of the camera or behind the scenes brings journalism to life for cherubs. From taking the news anchor chair at WBBM to sitting in on the Page One meeting at the Chicago Sun Times, cherubs experienced journalism first-hand.
Political reporting from the National Affairs Editor of Newsweek. Investigative reporting from a Pulitzer Prize winner. Sports writing from ESPN personality Michael Wilbon.
Cherubs learned first-hand from professionals and were inspired to make a difference with their craft.
Can you use an anonymous source who has accused a presidential candidate of having an affair? Is it OK to wear a bikini to interview a source? Do you publish a story knowing that it could destroy a family or someone’s career? Cherubs grappled with the ethics of issues like these.
Journalists face challenges on all fronts -- professional and personal. Cherubs looked at the industry through the eyes of veteran journalists and the novice reporter, the multimedia reporter and the designer. And they saw the field in a new light.
