News has an agenda in Worrall Elementary School, where reporters with Asperger's syndrome are routinely pulled from their classrooms to learn the basics of journalism. Their teachers say producing a newscast is one of the best ways for their students to learn how to speak clearly, work together, build confidence ... and become school celebrities all at the same time.
