From Jim Metrock:
It was a good idea if it had worked: Cut programming expenses at Channel One and air student-produced news stories that would cost Channel One nothing.
Since this spring Channel One has been using their in-school show and web site to constantly solicit schools to sign up as "Bureau Schools." Channel One made it sound like a great honor to be chosen as a Bureau School. A Bureau School would have the great honor of supplying Channel One News with footage that would air on the nationwide broadcast. Bureau Schools would do this for free. Student reporters, who would be doing Channel One’s work, would not be paid. Camera people, editors, producers, graphic artists, and others who would contribute to the production of the news stories would be unpaid.
Channel One is used to exploiting students, so they must have thought one more exploitation wouldn’t matter. Evidently, it did. As far as I can tell these are the only five schools that are considered "Bureau Schools." Out of 11,000 schools that is a pretty sad response rate. This is another confirmation of Channel One’s irrelevancy.
