SCRIPPS HOWARD MULTICULTURAL
JOURNALISM WORKSHOP
University of Idaho campus


June 22-28, 2008

.pdf version of the application
 

Students from Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Washington and other Northwest states spend a week working with media professionals and UI journalism students and faculty. They write news stories for the student radio station and newspaper. They also participate in the production of a 15-minute television news magazine. The workshop provides a crash course in the news business. Students learn reporting, writing and editing skills that they can take back to their high schools, as well as strategies for including more diverse voices in their stories. Many of the participants work on their high school newspapers, Web sites or yearbooks.

The workshop is funded by an annual $10,000 grant from the
Scripps Howard Foundation. It is intended to bring more journalists from under-represented populations into U.S. newsrooms.

The 2004, 2005 and 2006 workshop links to the left provide photos of the students who attended and some of their departing comments..
 
The workshop is open to students currently enrolled in grades 10 through 12, and for students who will be college freshmen in the fall. There is no fee for the workshop. Rooms and meals are provided at no cost to the students. Students are responsible for their own travel expenses. For more information about this workshop, contact JAMM Director Kenton Bird at 208-885-4947 or
kbird@uidaho.edu.
