CSUN Hosts Annual Journalism Day For High School Journalism Students
Journalists from the Los Angeles Times and journalism professors from California State University, Northridge were among some of the many who reached out to a record number of high school journalism students, more than 170, during the 23rd-annual “Generation J” Journalism Day and AdviserFEST at CSUN on Saturday, Oct. 24.
The event provided an opportunity for students from 37 high schools from throughout Southern California to take part in workshops that focused on mobile journalism, sports writing, photojournalism, breaking news, layout and design and Spanish-language journalism.
“It’s important to offer opportunities to high school journalists on their way to college, so we can keep the pipeline flowing with new journalists,” said CSUN journalism professor and AdviserFEST event leader Elizabeth Blakey.
