The week-long multimedia-journalism academy has a proven track record of seven successful years helping journalism educators acquire new skills in digital storytelling that they can use to help prepare the next generation of Latino and African-American college journalists. The goal of this experience is to learn and practice news reporting using a variety of digital equipment, software programs and platforms. Participating instructors are expected to translate this learning into training for their students, making them more competitive in the media industry.
