BUTLER TWP — Students from three county high schools got a glimpse of how news is gathered and disseminated through media from different perspectives Thursday at the first ever “Student Journalism Summit” at Butler County Community College.
Journalists from the Butler Eagle, Butler Radio, KDKA-TV and Cincinnati, Ohio, based nonprofit A Picture’s Worth were joined by Butler Mayor Bob Dandoy and Butler County Sheriff Mike Slupe to speak with students from the Butler Area, Seneca Valley and Knoch school districts during the daylong summit.

The event featured the Eagle staff recounting their coverage of the July 13 attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a campaign stop at the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Connoquenessing Township. A bullet grazed Trump, but Buffalo Township firefighter and former fire chief Corey Comparatore was killed, and two other spectators were severely injured by shots fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Cooks of Bethel Park. Cooks was shot and killed by authorities.

“We are the first draft of history in print,” Eagle publisher Tammy Schuey said as she held up a copy of a special edition of the newspaper dedicated to the historic, but tragic event.
Eagle managing editor Donna Sybert said the edition contained updated information about the shooting and new information gathered by staff in the following days. She said people from around the world bought copies of the edition, which was printed on special paper.

Eagle photographer Morgan Phillips and reporter Steve Ferris, who were among the staff that covered the campaign rally, talked about their experiences. Content editor Jamie Kelly, assignment editor Tracy Leturgey, Schuey and Sybert told students about the hectic effort to redirect coverage planned for a campaign rally to an attempted assassination and fatal shooting.

The summit was meant to introduce students to different aspects of journalism through afternoon breakout sessions.
A group of Butler Area freshmen said they enjoyed the summit.
Jocelyn Ward said she liked learning about photography and reporting.
“I like telling facts about what’s going on the community,” Ward said.
Zoe Mann said she was glad to learn about journalism as a career option and the different jobs available in journalism.
“I want to do photography,” said Lily Wisser.
She said she learned about different types of photographs during the photography breakout session with Eagle lead photographer Rob McGraw.

Dandoy, Slupe and Kelly led a breakout session about how public officials interact with news reporters.
“I was interviewed by reporters from literally all over the world,” Dandoy said about the July 13 attempted assassination.
He recalled a phone interview with a national media reporter that night in which he raised his voice in anger when the reporter tried to get him to say something she wanted for her story.
“No, you can’t say that,” Dandoy recalled shouting over the phone to the reporter.

Slupe said TV news reporters are under pressure to quickly gather information so it can be disseminated across the country through syndicated channels, but their reporting must be accurate.
“Nobody you’re interviewing should be mad at you for doing your job,” Slupe said.
He said when he speaks off the record with a reporter, what he said should not be reported. If it is, he said that reporter will get “a lot of ‘no comments’” in the future.
Kelly said news media helps the government provide information to the public.
Government and the media are “on different sides, but not opposite sides,” Kelly said.
Other breakout sessions covered editing, interviewing skills, podcast production, broadcast journalism and sports journalism.
The keynote speaker was Chilekasi Adele from KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

Elissa Yancey, of A Picture’s Worth, talked about conflict resolution in journalism training.
Butler Area School District superintendent Brian White said accurate reporting is essential.
“For Democracy to work, people have to have reliable knowledge,” he said.
Ryan Rydzewski, spokesman for The Grable Foundation, one of the summit’s sponsors, said he hopes students learned about journalism and the role it serves.
“I hope they leave here with the nuts and bolts of journalism,” Rydzewski said.
More important, he said, he hopes the students learn about journalism’s role in society and democracy.
