News Flash!

After being fired from her local news internship (and replaced with a sock puppet!?!), a feisty teen assembles a group of tech-savvy youth to deliver positive news to prove she has what it takes. Using engaging social media platforms, they take on adult cynicism, apathy, and fake news, all while dealing with the usual teen drama and comedy.
News Flash is a single-camera half-hour comedy for a co-viewing/tween audience.
