International Women's Day

Utica Academy of Science middle school ELA students learn about a group of women reporters who make tremendous contributions to the broadcast and journalism field by providing reliable news coverage to the citizens in rural African communities.

Monday, March 8th, 2021In honor of International Women’s Day Utica Academy of Science middle school ELA students learned about a group of brave women in the broadcast and journalism field who risk their lives to provide reliable news coverage to the citizens in rural Africa. These brave women go above and beyond the call of duty by sacrificing personal health and safety in efforts to deliver reliable news coverage to the citizens, as many of the African communities are without electricity. Therefore receiving news coverage of current events or news in general can be challenging. Many citizens listen to their battery powered radios for news coverage.

Thank you, to all those brave women for all your contributions you have made to the broadcast and journalism industry by providing reliable broadcast and journalism news coverage to the men and women in rural African communities.
