International News Anchor Visits Cherokee Charter Academy

CNN Student News anchor Carl Azuz came to Cherokee Charter Academy to give students a peek into the sometimes crazy life of the news business.

Carl isn’t just a pretty face; he also does research and writes for his daily program. And some weeks, it can be an amazing challenge for Carl and his news team.

Do you think “Snowmageddon” in Atlanta earlier this year meant no CNN Student News for kids around the world? No way!

While many others in Atlanta gave up on work that week, Carl & company had major news to cover – the president’s State of the Union address & Republican response. That meant researching, writing and shooting video at home…somehow managing to bring this important historical moment to classrooms worldwide.

Carl also spoke of the importance in the news business of being unbiased and telling all sides of a story. Simply, telling the truth.

Between 3-11 million students view CNN Student News daily at cnn.com/studentnews, on iTunes or YouTube.
