My Project

The Classic is one of the top school newspapers in the country. We are continually increasing our multimedia capabilities, and to do that, we need more equipment.

I am requesting a camera which will help us create more multimedia content for our newspaper and on our social media platforms.

By adding this camera to our team, we will be able to train our student photographers and also film more events, podcast, vlogs and more. This will be our first mirrorless camera, and will offer students a chance to learn how to be great photographers with a new piece of technology.
