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

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
