And they are off! Year 1 reporting teams head into San Francisco for a day of reporting, writing and capturing news by the bay

NBTB students went on a private tour of AT&T Ballpark and attended a game during our 2013 session.

Year 1 students have all safely boarded the Stanford Marguerite bus and will be hopping on the CalTrain to San Francisco any moment now. They are well-rested and well-prepared for a fun reporting day in San Francisco, with a San Francisco Giants game later tonight.

Each team is carrying a complete video setup including a tripod and iOgrapher mounts, mini-iPads, digital cameras and reporters’ notebooks, maps, MUNI and museum tickets, and most of all … money for ice cream, and a ton of natural curiosity and journalistic critical thinking.

We can’t wait to see what our Year 1 teams produce. Please follow us on Twitter @NewsroomBTB #nbtb14 for more news on today’s events.
