Green, Ky. - Have teens who are looking for a fun but challenging summer workshop experience? If so, encourage them to attend a two- or four-day journalism workshop at Western Kentucky University on June 17-21.
WKU offers two-day workshops in Broadcasting, Journalistic Writing, InDesign and Photoshop and a four-day workshop in Photography. All instructors are WKU journalism faculty members, including James Kenney, Sara Hiles and Terry Likes.
The School of Journalism and Broadcasting has a long-standing tradition of hosting the best high school summer media workshops in the area. Freshmen through seniors are eligible to enroll. The registration deadline is May 25.
Workshop participants will stay in campus housing, will meet journalism students from all over Kentucky and other states, and will receive a meaningful two- or four-day immersion in specific journalism skills.
Having that workshop experience will make a difference when journalism classes begin in the fall, but students who are not actively involved in their school’s journalism program may still attend and benefit from one or more of these workshops.
Sometimes graduating high school seniors who are interested in getting a head start on their college career at WKU also attend. Four $500 scholarships to attend WKU will be awarded to junior or senior workshop participants.
Registration fees include all meals, lodging and materials -- except for the cameras. Residence hall counselors and instructors will keep a careful eye on workshop students.
For information or to receive a registration brochure, contact the School of Journalism and Broadcasting at (270) 745-4144 or workshop director Jackie Bretz at (270) 745-6407.
