Student News Desk: Moses makes broadcasting memories at Lincoln High

March 24, 2026

Lincoln Public Schools understands the importance of quality journalism to help inform our community and shine a light on the people, programs and events that make our school district unique.

Student News Desk is our ongoing effort to promote excellence in journalism and public education by highlighting student journalists from our high school publications classes. This month’s spotlight is on Lincoln High senior Moses, who is a leader on the KLHS broadcast news team. Congratulations, Moses!

Moses has produced an Emmy-worthy career at Lincoln High with his work in the school’s broadcast journalism studio.
 
The senior has become a leader on the KLHS team with his deep reservoir of broadcasting knowledge. He gathers school news, writes television scripts and operates equipment such as teleprompters, cameras, audio systems and studio lights. He is planning to study broadcast journalism at Loyola University Chicago next year.
 
Moses said he enjoys the public service aspect of the television class. Each KLHS episode features school announcements, activity updates and bulletins about upcoming events. The shows reach more than 2,000 Lincoln High students and staff members during the academic year.
 
“I like that I get to work for something that helps everyone else,” Moses said.

Lincoln High teacher Mackenzie Wylie took over as the broadcasting journalism advisor this past fall. She said Moses has been instrumental in the studio’s success with his kind personality and selfless attitude. She and his classmates have relied on his news judgment and familiarity with audio-visual systems throughout the school year.
 
“Moses helped get everything set up and ready to go when we got back to school,” Wylie said. “He knew the ins and outs of the newsroom and made sure things were running smoothly, so I didn’t have anything to worry about. Moses is quick to help with anything asked of him and is willing to train new students so they know what they are doing.”
 
Lincoln High replaced the morning loudspeaker announcements with a daily broadcast called “LinksLIVE! The Lincoln High Morning News Show” in 2019. It rebranded as “KLHS – Lincoln High’s News Network” in 2021-22 and has maintained its operations on the school’s third floor.
 
Moses enjoyed watching the broadcasts his first year at Lincoln High. He became interested in learning more about video production and other details of the journalism profession. He decided to sign up for the KLHS course as a sophomore to see if it would be a good activity to be involved in. That decision has led to many rewarding moments for him.
 
“I thought it would be something that I would like to do and that it would be kind of fun,” Moses said.

The newsroom that year was full of fresh faces, which meant Moses and his classmates learned the ins and outs of the broadcasting world together. Many Links returned to the class the following year, which allowed them to produce news segments with more advanced graphics and features.
 
Younger Links on the current KLHS team are now benefiting from the mentorship that Moses and other veterans are providing them. Approximately 20 students work together on each morning’s episode. They write stories in one classroom before heading next door to the broadcast studio. They take turns being on camera, controlling lights and soundboards and archiving website video packages.
 
Moses said he has tried to make the most of those leadership opportunities as a senior. He has taught his teammates how to set up equipment, access a full inventory of graphics and write compelling scripts and story angles. His guidance has helped the Links create a full library of news clips for the Lincoln High community.
 
“I like that I can show people what I know and that it will have a lasting impact on the class,” Moses said.

Moses said his time at Lincoln High has taught him many lifelong lessons. He has taken multiple math and science classes and has been a member of the school’s theater program. He has especially enjoyed learning about creativity, critical thinking and perseverance during his time at KLHS.
 
“I think it made me aware that was something I could do,” Moses said. “It taught me that there’s a lot of things I could do with the knowledge I have from that class.”
 
Moses said his high school television experiences have also shaped his career goals. He would like to use the training he will receive at Loyola University Chicago to become a broadcast producer. He said it was important to pursue dreams with enthusiasm and excitement.
 
“If you want to do something, do it,” Moses said. “Don’t be scared of trying.”
 
Wylie said she believes Moses will write many successful scripts after graduating from Lincoln High. She is looking forward to watching him excel with an Emmy-level amount of talent in the multimedia industry.
 
“I think Moses will be successful in anything he wants to do in the future,” Wylie said. “He is very quiet but has great leadership skills and the desire to do well. I hope he pursues a job in the journalism field!”
