Temple High School recently announced the discontinuation of its online news website, The Catalyst, after cutting their journalism class. Brad Sheffield taught journalism at the school for three years until he decided to adapt to the times. “We started examining the landscape of media and journalism and how it is ever-changing,” he said. “Obviously there is a big push at Temple ISD for technology … so we wanted to keep that trend going and for the kids sake it was probably better to focus on the video side of things from a production and journalistic standpoint.”Sheffield — who has a journalism degree from Sam Houston State and a background in public relations — said he is still teaching students the principles of journalism and incorporating them into video production and broadcasting.
