LexMedia Offers Summer Kids Classes

Now's the time to sign up for this fun class series.

Every summer, LexMedia runs a week long class for kids 10-to 13-years old. This year’s series will take place July,18 to 22, from 1 to 4 p.m. The class series is all about learning how to produce a TV show in a collaborative way. In this class the kids do it all, from coming up with the story ideas to writing scripts, acting and running the studio cameras. It is very much a hands on experience.

LexMedia is wonderful and always does a good job. I was just wishing to hear the Town Manager's report. You're right about the missing 30 minutes, because it ran the next day.

Multimedia: Car Fire Totals a Toyota Outside LexMedia

A LexMedia volunteer lost his car to a fast-moving fire on May 9, right outside the offices at Avalon at Lexington Hills.

Shortly before 4 p.m. today, May 9, Jim Baker’s plans for the evening changed in a big way. A former sportswriter for the Boston Herald, Baker had found a great retirement gig covering high school sports for LexMedia. On Monday afternoon, he dropped by the LexMedia headquarters at Avalon Lexington Hills to do some editing of a recent Lexington High School softball game against Burlington High. And then, he figured he’d head out and cover another game.
