WHO-TV’s Dave Price Talks Media and Politics with Waukee Students

20 8th grade students learned from a political expert on Friday morning. Mrs. Kate Boonstra’s virtual learners spent their class time interviewing WHO-TV Political Insider Dave Price as part of their problem-based learning lesson.

The students have been studying the 1960 Nixon campaign, by taking the role of media consultants, focusing on Nixon’s use of media and television to improve his image.

The session with WHO-TV’s Price focused on the role of media and how their impact has changed, leading up to the 2020 election.
