Panasonic will mark the 25th anniversary of its Kid Witness News video education program with an awards ceremony at its Newark, New Jersey, headquarters, the company said Wednesday. Panasonic is searching for Kid Witness News “alumni” to share their stories and “career trajectories,” the company said. “Panasonic would like to connect with past participants about how the program influenced their lives, whether they chose to pursue a career in TV or journalism, or if they used skills learned to excel in other fields,” it said. Students from 548 schools in 23 countries participated in the program this year, it said. “By providing a platform and high-definition cameras, Panasonic helps students create, produce, direct, act in and edit videos on subjects such as the environment, peer pressure and drug prevention."
