News to Warm the Heart

Nov 5, 2009 by Saranac Brewery | Post a Comment

ABC News has started what are considered, “digital news bureaus” at five of the country’s top journalism schools, one of which is Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Journalism students create and edit video reports for posting on ABC News’ website, using their own initiative and story ideas of interest to their peers. Since Syracuse is less than an hour’s drive away from our Brewery, two of their "ABC News on Campus" student reporters, Julia and Mark, recently visited the Brewery to do a story featuring our very own Pumpkin Ale. Original reporting and on-the-spot interviews with tour participants at our 1888 Tavern highlight a great little feature about one of our favorite brews.

The story ran on the Good Morning America weekend page, the ABCNews.com homepage and a World News webcast. It’s comforting to know the future of journalism is in the hands of discerning beer fans like Julia and Mark.
