 Things we like: - Visualization. "Takes a powerful and often touchy topic and makes it a little shocking, which worked to grab my attention and made me want to know more."
- Strong, tough message. "The message I see here is 'racism is only skin deep.' "
The page was "jarring and demanded my attention. This was compelling."

Keep in mind:
"The page is a little heavy-handed in its visualization. I found the treatment to be kind of jarring. Any time you see a skinless face, it seems kind of rough. But when you see that with the faces of students peeled away from the muscle and bone, even rougher."
-- Steve Dorsey, Poynter Institute visiting faculty, AME for Presentation Detroit Free Press

PoynterHigh comes to you from The Poynter Institute, a school for journalists in St. Petersburg, Fla. If you live in Tampa Bay, apply to Poynter's High School Journalism Program, where 35 high school students attend Poynter workshops for two weeks in the summer and 10 evenings during the school year. High school students from anywhere in Florida may attend Poynter's one-day writing camp, the Florida High School Writers Workshop each February.  Come to Poynter virtually. Take a free interactive online course from NewsU, a Poynter/Knight Foundation project. See courses that we recommend for high school students. Each takes an hour or two, and you can stop and restart as many times as you wish. |
