7th annual Cornerstone Journalism Institute

Starts afternoon of Sunday, July 26, and ends at noon on Friday, July 31, 2009

Attention all high schoolers!

Experience walking in a reporter's or photojournalist's shoes for one exciting week?

Experience what it's like to be a reporter during summer 2009 - July 26-31

Explore the world of writing, photography, print and online media!

Live, eat meals, study on campus of Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Mich.

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
