LeBron James I PROMISE School opens new Kaulig Companies Media Lab in collaboration with WKYC

A state-of-the-art media lab that gives students a real world taste of the news business was unveiled Wednesday, August 14, 2019, at the I PROMISE School in Akron -- and the very first person to sit down for an interview was LeBron James.

James is back in his hometown to help unveil several new amenities at the I PROMISE School, including the Kaulig Companies Media Lab, an experiential learning center designed in collaboration with WKYC.

Inside the media lab, James took part in an exclusive interview with WKYC's Amani Abraham alongside Matt Kaulig, chairman of Kaulig Companies Limited, which sponsored construction of the fully equipped broadcast facility.

The lab will provide students hands-on learning opportunities to report news and create content on both broadcast and digital platforms.
