Students will receive training in the basics of journalism and writing for various media platforms: print, broadcast, digital and social media. Learn the essentials to make sure your writing is accessible and accurate wherever it is published. Explore the differences between news reporting and commentary. Try your hand at writing commentary, personality profiles, and event coverage. Uncover the secrets of the interview.  

This opportunity to craft your writing skills comes with an added benefit: You get paid. 

The summer camp requires 10 hours of work each of the eight weeks. There is one three-hour online training session plus assignments of reporting and writing to make up the rest of the required 10 hours.
