Testimonials
-
I was able to have experiences that I would not have gotten otherwise without Summer Springboard. Like visiting real newsrooms and talking to a handful of other journalists of all types.
-
I learned that journalism requires a lot of communication and talking to strangers. The assignments really helped me get into the right mindset to break out of my comfort zone.
Course Overview
In their first class, students will break into teams and choose a theme that they would like to report on. Over the course of the program, students will complete multiple journalism projects which will ultimately be combined into a portfolio that focuses on their selected theme. Along the way, they will use blog, video, photo, and podcast reporting techniques to capture different angles of their story. Using an experiential learning approach, students will quickly engage in the topic. The instructor introduces the underlying theory and concepts as students tackle these issues while interviewing and reporting.
