The Summer Video Journalism Institute trains high school age youth in journalism, video production, and web publishing skills necessary to tell compelling stories from their communities. During the Institute students "Youth Mojos" (short for mobile journalist) practice what they are learning by exploring four local neighborhoods and producing video stories there.
This is the first year of the Video Journalism Institute. It is a summer continuation of our eMerge News program.
