This is something that, as a participant, we tried back in 1983 as a class. It was a one-time thing that we did with the given technology of the day. We wanted to get an idea of what newscasters and anchorpeople did on the air as part of our current events studies, so we did a news program with local news, sports, and weather. We added our own little twist to it so it looked a bit more like Saturday Night Live than a real news broadcast, where the "audience" would throw paper and other harmless stuff at the news or sports anchor while they were trying to read their script, just to have some fun with it, and that we did. It was a learning experience that we managed to turn into fun.
Today's technology would make it so much better. Classes can actually utilize YouTube to put their "news" on the Internet and view later on, even a year or two after the fact, like an archive of sorts. I believe it would be exciting for the kids in high school to go on YouTube and view themselves as sixth-graders doing a news broadcast and looking at the posted replies. It is also a way for kids in other states and countries to view the same thing and see what you do in your school. That's just my viewpoint, anyway.
