Description

Class Experience

A major event just happened in your city and everyone wants to know about it. Will you be the one to report it? In this eight-week summer camp, you will learn how to find and report news for print publications. In each session we will work on important skills for reporting, from finding your angle on a story to writing for your audience to news-editorial writing techniques. 

We will meet twice a week. Day 1 is our instructional time. We will discuss important skills for journalism. Day 2 is...

Learners will gain a general understanding of the news process and how to objectively report issues they care about.

I completed an undergraduate minor in news-editorial journalism. I’m also a published bestselling author and regular media contributor featured on Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, eHealth Radio, The Brian Tracy Show, among others

Learners should use the skills/techniques taught each week to begin developing their news story which is the final project for the summer camp. I recommend that learners work on their news story little by little rather than waiting until the last week of camp to begin.

I recommend that you bring notetaking materials.

A letter grade can be provided upon request.

1 hour 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
