College experience -- College credit
June 17-19, 2010 High School Journalism Workshop
The Ohio University High School Journalism Workshop is a unique opportunity for students and their advisers to experience the latest newsgathering techniques at one of the nation's premiere journalism schools.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS will:
- take part in at least eight sessions of their choice, ranging from online news fundamentals to column writing to shooting video to developing sparkling sports coverage;
- receive feedback from award-winning faculty on their scholastic publications and productions;
- have the opportunity to work as a team in a converged newsroom to produce high quality print and digital news, and
- develop contacts that last a lifetime.
ADVISERS will:
- attend critiques and general sessions;
- be able to choose to attend the same sessions as students; and/or
- special sessions for inexperienced or beginning advisers.
Students and advisers will choose their classes on the workshop registration form. The classes are listed and must be selected before registration is considered complete.
The fee for the workshop includes room and board for the two and half days, attendance at the sessions, and all materials. There are no additional university fees for students seeking the college credit or for advisers approved for professional development hours.
Students will stay in a campus dormitory, eat in university dining facilities, and interact with faculty, graduate students, media professionals, and current undergraduate students. The dorms are staffed around the clock, and all activities are supervised. Workshop and dorm check-in begins at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 17, with the opening session scheduled for 1 p.m. Workshop sessions and converged newsroom activities run until 9 p.m. each night. The workshop ends Saturday, June 19, with a closing assembly at 1 p.m. and dorm check-out at 2 p.m.
For those traveling long distances, dorm rooms are available Wednesday evening. For any questions, please contact Ed Simpson, assistant workshop director, at (740) 593-2591 or e-mail, info@scrippsjschool.org.
