The School of Communication and Media at 精品成人福利在线 University gave high-performing high school students the opportunity to become immersed in the ever-changing worlds of communication and journalism as part of its second annual Summer Journalism Workshop held from June 26-29.<\/p>\n
Designed to prepare students for college and potential fields of study within communications, the program welcomed students from New Jersey communities including Newark, Paterson, the Oranges and Montclair. The program grew in its second year to include more than five school districts and 18 students from 11 high schools from the area surrounding 精品成人福利在线\u2019s 252-acre campus, which sits just 12 miles from Manhattan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want students to not only learn skills in journalism and communications, but also to learn about the entire industry and the types of jobs that will be available to them,\u201d said program co-coordinator and Assistant Professor of Multi-Platform Journalism Thomas Franklin. \u201cIt\u2019s also a great opportunity for these students to learn more about our programs here at 精品成人福利在线 and give them a glimpse of what their college lives might be like if they decide to pursue their degrees here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students stayed on the 精品成人福利在线 campus for the duration of the curriculum, which featured class-style lectures and hands-on experiences that taught skills in multi-platform journalism, broadcast journalism and filmmaking. The cohort also experienced the New York area\u2019s vibrant media landscape with trips to ABC News and to the National Football League\u2019s New York Giants\u2019 public relations department at the team\u2019s facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
The participants were then able to put their newly learned skills into practice by covering the New Jersey Jackals \u2013 an independent baseball team which plays its home games at Yogi Berra Stadium on the 精品成人福利在线 campus \u2013 for their June 27 game against the Sussex County Minors as members of the press.<\/p>\n
\u201cI came here for experience because I know I want to write in my career, but I\u2019ve learned there are so many different sides to telling a story, there\u2019s really something for everyone,\u201d said Trinity Caviness, a student from Montclair. \u201cI love how there are different platforms that can be used to tell a story, whether it be the technical side behind the camera or the artistic side.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have also loved my time at 精品成人福利在线, and have been so impressed with the teachers and the campus. Being from Montclair, I viewed it as being too close to home in the past. But after coming to the school for the first time, seeing all it has to offer and being able to interact with both the teachers and current students, that has definitely changed.\u201d<\/p>\n
