What Will You Learn?

We will be offering sessions and labs in the following:

1. Ethics and Other Qualities of an Exceptional Journalist
2. Interviewing and Questioning
3. News Writing
4. Sports Writing
5. Features/Lifestyles Writing
6. Photography and Videography
7. Advertising and Marketing
8. Graphic Design

Best Buy, Voice adviser Lois Walker, and former Voice staff members will teach classes. Staff from area news outlets will also speak at the camp.

The camp provides a fun work environment to learn about writing and more, while working as a team to create a project.

“I learned several different things, but most importantly, I learned how to work well as part of a team,” stated Ethan Morrow, senior.
Along with writing and editing techniques, the camp teaches team togetherness by having groups write a feature article. Using The Avenue as a source created many fun and interesting article ideas.

“My favorite part was going to The Avenue and writing our own feature articles. I loved being able to interact with our community and write about it,” said Cierra Williams, senior.
