I got some new competition last night.
We took our live-stream Internet show, 'Live From the Newsroom,' to the campus of Widener University in Chester to meet some young journalists.
They are the driving force behind a brand new magazine focusing on Chester.
It's part of the Magazine Writing course offered at Widener by adjunct professor Sam Starnes.
The kids were terrific.
They did all the writing, editing, photos and layout involved with this slick new mag. I was impressed.
My thanks to Professor Starnes, and in particular to the three students who joined us last night, Khlalil Williams of Chester; Maria Klcecko of Aston, and Devon Fiore, who hails from Lancaster.
Williams was especially impressive as he talked about what he hopes to accomplish with the magazine, shining a light on a side of the city where he grew up that does not often garner headlines.
Williams talked about the city's thriving arts community and what he sees as a bright future. He penned a column in the mag dealing with his belief in the city.
Klecko featured one of the great secrets of the city. That would be the Chester Children's Chorus.
Fiore wrote of one of the city's true icons, Crozer-Chester Medical Center and a very special fertility program that is helping young couples have children.
If you missed the show, you can catch the replay here.
Journalism is in good hands with young people like this dynamite trio entering the field.
Thanks for a great night.
