Media project class!

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CLASS! - media projects for schools are of various daily newspapers available to the media known handy teaching aid in schools. They were developed by the Main-Post media group in Würzburg , part of the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group , in 1996. Around 30 regional daily newspapers in Germany and one newspaper in Austria work according to these principles.

aims

The project aims to help teachers and students to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the daily newspaper and to compare it with other media. The publisher offers the teacher various modules that the educator can use individually in the classroom. He can determine the project period and duration himself and take into account the respective performance levels of the classes.

Some building blocks are similar to those in other comparable school projects such as "Newspaper in School" . The teaching material is revised every school year. The material was designed and implemented by Peter Krones (born September 28, 1954), editor-in-chief of the Main-Post media group .

history

CLASS! started at Main-Post for the first time in January 1996 and has run there every school year since then. In the 2001/2002 school year the project got a little sister named KLASSE! -Kids. This project is aimed at primary schools . The conception and the high level of acceptance led to an award: In autumn 2002, Main-Post received the Bavarian Print Media Prize for KLASSE! -Kids , a prize that the Bavarian State Government awards once a year in collaboration with the publishing associations of the printing industry, the magazine and the newspaper publishers award.

In the 2002/2003 school year, Main-Post also launched the Extra-KLASSE project! in addition, which is aimed at grades 10 to 13 with a focus on media studies, text and language analysis.

resonance

At the Main-Post media group , the projects reach 30,000 pupils in 1,300 classes per school year. Numerous newspapers adopted the concept. They received the teaching material from the Main-Post media group and tailored it to their specific appearance and region.

The Südkurier in Konstanz and the Tagesspiegel in Berlin (both also part of the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group) became KLASSE! Newspapers as the first newspapers outside of the Main Post Group in the mid-1990s . In autumn 1998, Münchner Merkur was launched as the first newspaper outside the Holtzbrinck publishing group. Later came the Rheinzeitung in Koblenz , and the Trierische Volksfreund . In the school year that followed, the Frankenpost Hof , the Coburger Neue Presse, the Vogtland-Anzeiger in Plauen , the Freie Wort in Suhl , the Südthüringer Zeitung and the Donaukurier in Ingolstadt followed .

Newspapers outside Bavaria, such as the Grafschafter Nachrichten in Nordhorn, the Braunschweiger Zeitung , the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung , the Westdeutsche Zeitung Düsseldorf , the Neue Westfälische in Bielefeld and the Nürnberger Nachrichten also decided in favor of the projects. A total of 30 regional daily newspapers are implementing the concept.
