Attend a workshop this summer
Summer. Sun bathing, relaxing in front of the TV, studying journalism at a summer institute....
Ok, so maybe journalism training isn't the first thing that comes to
mind when you think of summer, but for the dedicated, those long
vacation months are the perfect time to fit in some hard-core
journalism practice.
The Dow Jones Newspaper Fund has compiled a list of summer workshops and courses
for high school students organized by state. (They have separate lists
for college students, high school teachers, and college professors).
Most of the courses are offered through the journalism programs of
state universities and cost between $200 and $500 dollars, although
there are some for less and others for much more. Average duration is a
week.
It's not sun bathing, but it looks good on the resume and is a great
way to make contacts and to get a feel for college-level journalism.
See what's offered in your state.
