High school journalism workshop scheduled for June 14-17

The N.C. Scholastic Media Association will host its annual four-day journalism Institute at UNC-Chapel Hill June 14-17.

All interested high school students and their teachers are encouraged to participate. The Monday-through-Thursday workshop is designed to teach creative and efficient ways to communicate through high school newspapers, yearbooks, literary magazines and broadcasts.

The institute, housed in the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, also gives students a chance to experience college life and to explore media careers.

Students may choose one of the following sequences: TV news, newspaper, desktop publishing/design, photography, yearbook and literary magazine. Teachers may participate in one of these tracks along with their students, or they may choose the adviser track. By doing so, teachers may receive continuing education credits.

Commuters may attend for $140. Registration deadline for commuters is June 10. Download the commuter registration form.
