SINGAPORE - Forty secondary school students were picked from an animation competition to visit The Straits Times newsroom on Monday to see what goes on behind the scenes in newsmaking.
The students were shown around the newspaper's video production and photo studio and its newsroom, with the final stop at Singapore Press Holdings' creative and content marketing unit Sweet. Content generators and animators from Sweet will be training the students in the art of animated storytelling throughout the competition.
The students saw how important topics such as the gender pay gap and Malaysia's general election could be explained through visuals. Lee Zhe Feng, 14, a student from Maris Stella High School, said the tour allowed him to better appreciate the news he reads and watches at home."I got to see how much work was put into one headline: the information gathering; people running around and fact-checking," he added.
