Each year the High School Broadcast Journalism Project hosts the Five Freedoms Public Service Announcement Contest, which challenges students to create an original Public Service Announcement that demonstrates the importance of the First Amendment. This video was last year's middle school Student Choice Winner and Judges' Award 2nd place.
■Class discussion: Over the last few years, newspapers have pushing more resources into multimedia as another way of telling stories online.

How would you storyboard your entry?
