UI High School Journalism Workshop to be held in CdA |
|
April 26, 2017 |
North Idaho high school journalism students can
get hands-on experience in reporting or design
during a workshop sponsored by the University of
Idaho’s School of Journalism and Mass Media May
19 in Coeur d’Alene.
The annual UI High School Journalism Workshop is
open to high school juniors, seniors and
teachers interested in getting hands-on
experience with design, broadcast or print news.
Cost is $10 per person. It is scheduled from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 19, at UI
Coeur d’Alene, N1031 Academy Way, Coeur d’Alene.
“Normally, this event has been held in Moscow,
but this year, we wanted to take this
opportunity into the communities where more
students live, making it easier for them to
attend,” said Rebecca Tallent, workshop director
and associate professor of journalism in UI’s
College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences.
“In these days of fake news and alternative
facts, having professionals assist with hands-on
experience in gathering and reporting news, plus
information in design, can help young people
become better news consumers.”
Attendees will select one of three tracks to
learn about during the day: design, broadcasting
and journalism. Gary Lundgren, associate
director at the National Scholastic Press
Association, will lead the design track; UI
journalism student Destiny Alvarez will lead the
ethics section, and Tallent, a former business
reporter, will teach the journalism track. There
will also be a section for broadcast news.
Teachers in attendance will also have the
opportunity to review legal issues related to
high school journalism.
Students and teachers interested in attending
should submit at registration form available at
http://www.uidaho.edu/class/jamm/news/jamm-workshop.
The deadline to register is May 10.
For more information, contact Tallent at
rtallent@uidaho.edu.
The UI High School Journalism Workshop is
sponsored by the Howard and Ursula Dubin
Foundation, the Hagadone Foundation of Coeur
d’Alene, UI journalism alumna Kathy Barnard
LaPointe and UI’s School of Journalism and Mass
Media. |
