FAIRMONT Two new media production classes are being offered at Fairmont High School this semester. The classes are taught by English teacher Jonas Nissen.
Nissen is teaching Audio Visual Production, which is a basic course for students in grades 10-12 and Intro to Broadcast Journalism, which is for juniors and seniors.
“That’s where students are creating content specifically for journalism purposes,” Nissen said.
There are 15 students enrolled between the two classes.
