This summer I worked again with Florida A&M University’s DowJones Summer Camp for high school students. This grant-funded initiative aims to encourage 11th and 12th graders to pursue a bachelor’s degree in journalism/communications. The grant requires students to use multimedia to deliver the news. Therefore, in addition to teaching students the fundamentals of news writing and reporting, students learn how to use social media to deliver the news. DowJones requires students to display their journalism skills–which they developed in an intense week-long workshop–via an online newspaper. It can be viewed at the link below:
