The
22nd Annual Mosaic High School Journalism Workshop is looking for
students for an exciting, two-week summer camp taught by professional
reporters, editors and photographers. This workshop is free of cost to students.
Please forward this information to those who would be interested.
The
students will work in the campus newsroom at San Jose State University.
They’ll hit the streets of Silicon Valley to cover issues and trends
that matter to them and other teens. They’ll stay in campus dormitories
and get a taste of college life.
Besides
honing their skills in reporting and writing or in shooting photos and
videos, they also will share their stories and photos online and will
explore and pave pathways on social media.
Our
instructors will guide them every step of the way, from focusing ideas
to critiquing. At the end of the program students will see their
newspaper roll off the presses of the Bay Area News Group and witness
their stories spread online.
Please visit our website, www.mercurynews.com/mosaic,
for more details and an online version of last summer’s workshop
newspaper. You’ll also find a downloadable application for the 2015
program, attached here as well.
Founded
