Cornerstone Journalism Institute


Cornerstone Journalism Institute
July 20-25, 2008

Attention all high schoolers!

What if you were a newspaper reporter? What would it feel like?

The 6th annual CJI is designed let you experience what it's like to be a reporter during one week of the summer, July 20-25, 2008.

You will explore the world of writing, journalism and print media!

At CJI you'll enhance your skills in:

  • interviewing people
  • writing stories
  • taking photographs
  • news reporting
  • sports reporting
  • human interest story reporting
  • art-culture reporting
  • digital photography
  • opinion writing
  • poetry writing
  • and more...all in one week!

You'll have professional writers, editors and photographers talk about their respective professions, how they got there and what you can do to prepare yourself for a career in journalism.

Have questions? Feel to contact me. I'd be happy to chat with you more by phone, email or in person by appointment.

There's no better time to explore the world of journalism than at this time of your life. And, as an added bonus, you get to see what it's like to live on the campus of a four-year Christ-centered university during the week-long CJI, when you will be living in our residence halls, eating in our dining hall and playing volleyball in our athletic center.

I look forward to talking with you.

Best wishes,

Alan Blanchard, CJI Director
