The coronavirus upended the way we live our lives, took family, friends and neighbors from us and highlighted racial and economic inequities. On top of this, we’ve had a national election cycle that further revealed the deep divisions within American society.
Journalism is at the center of it all. It is at the heartbeat of our nation and the world. Journalists report on what is going on around them and provide the context. They give readers, viewers and listeners enough information to make informed decisions. That’s the point of journalism and that’s what you will learn and practice in this class.
In this class, for students ages 13-16, you’ll learn how to write using the active voice to give your stories energy and power. You’ll learn how to identify what makes news, find, report and follow stories and gather information to craft into stories that can appear on multiple platforms.
Class will be held online via Zoom.
Tuition total: $150 for 3 days.
