Deadline Extended to August 29

NYABJ's 13th annual high school journalism workshop, one of the chapter's premier programs, will be held in the fall and the deadline is fast approaching.

The workshop, which has produced some of the country's best young journalists, is held on consecutive Saturdays each year at the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University.

Each year, students produce an amateur newscast - "NYABJ Action News" - with the entire group acting in different capacities from anchors to field reporters; and a newspaper - "First Take" - a publication in which each student produces two articles and takes photos, and which was sponsored last year by Black Enterprise magazine and the university.

Guided by media professionals and potential mentors, the students improve their writing and articulation skills as well as news judgment.

As a bonus, the student who earns the highest grades on news quizzes will receive a nice gift, and each week, the student who receives the highest grade for the day will get one, too.

Students will take at least one field trip to a major news organization and, when the workshop concludes, receive recognition during a ceremonial brunch.

Anyone interested in participating, volunteering as a mentor or otherwise needing more information about the annual workhop is urged to please contact Tischelle George.
