Students visit Berks-Mont

Boyertown Area High School senior Katie Wallace and junior Kimberly “Kimi” Yudt are shown how to run a newspaper by Southern Berks News Editor Heather Tassmer.

While in the Berks-Mont Newspaper offices recently, the pair were shown how a newspaper is put together, went on a sales drive with a sales rep and helped report a vehicle crash on E. Philadelphia Avenue.

From their essays, both Wallace and Yudt are interested in film production.

“In class, we have learned the history of television, filming, directing, sound, news casting and editing,” wrote Wallace, who will attend DeSales University in the fall, where she plans to major in Television/Film.

Yudt wrote her passion for film and broadcasting, stemming from being a TV anchor at Boyertown Junior High East.

“I spend a lot of study halls and sometimes lunch in the television studio, editing various videos for BASH-TV and occasionally for PC-TV,” she wrote. “I understand that my dreams are big, but with enough passion and knowledge, I know it is possible to achieve my goals.”
