J-Camp
Posted by Steven A. Smith | 28 Jul 10:29 AM
Good morning,
We have 14 young people in our newsroom this week, participants in our first-ever J-Camp.
It's a journalism boot camp for young people in grades 7 through 12. Erin Daniels, our Vox advisor, will run the camp with the help of several Vox editors.
The camp participants will work on a reporting project that we'll publish later this summer.
We'll have a second J-Camp session in August.
J-Camp is just the latest wrinkle in our ongoing effort to provide journalism education to young people. We also have an Explorer Scout program that is targeted at high school freshmen and sophomores. Those students can then move on to The Vox.
I'll post more about the J-Camp experience through the week.
