As the Oklahoma teacher walkout got underway on Monday, News 9's [UNFILTERED] community journalism project got to work.
Taitum Wilson is a student at the Gaylord College of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma. She's at the state Capitol Monday talking to teachers about the teacher pay raise plan.
In this interview, she's talking to Donna Parker, a teacher from John Ross Elementary who walked out way back in 1990 to support education funding in Oklahoma. Hear her perspective as somebody who has walked out twice.
[UNFILTERED] is a partnership between News 9 and Mike Boettcher, a veteran journalist, News 9 alum and visiting professor at the University of Oklahoma. The goal of [UNFILTERED] is to provide the most thorough coverage possible of stories that matter to Oklahomans. We believe that a transparent, unfiltered approach to community journalism will embody the new era of digital storytelling.
We'd love to hear what you think: good, bad, or maybe you have an idea for a story in your community you'd like to tell. Email us at unfiltered@news9.net.
