More than 150 high school journalism students, their advisers and several local journalists came together for the annual “Generation J” Journalism Day and AdviserFEST at California State University, Northridge.
The free workshops were designed for students in the areas of mobile journalism, breaking news, sports writing, layout and design, photojournalism and Spanish-language journalism.
The department’s “Generation J” event is designed to give high school journalism students opportunities to connect with journalism professionals in a wide variety of workshops, and to test their skills in writing, visual and online communication competitions. “Generation J” is an SPJ national project. Workshop presenters included working professionals, CSUN’s own journalism faculty members and graduate students. Here are photos from the day’s event.
