Rating
the pies
Most people have an opinion on pizza, but students in Iris
Krasnow’s journalism seminar at Washington Semester get
to give theirs on NBC-4’s Consumer Watch segment with
Emmy Award–winning consumer reporter Liz Crenshaw (center
rear). The students counted slices of pepperoni, rated the
pizza’s appearance, and taste-tested pizza from Domino’s,
Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s.
The winner? Tune in to NBC-4 news on Tuesday, March 2.
