Jan 6 | Deadline to apply for Urban Journalism Workshop
“WABJ is now accepting applications for our 2025 Urban Journalism Workshop. The program has been teaching local high school students the fundamentals of journalism through interactive lectures, hands-on training, and field trips since 1986.
UJW is led by professional journalists and educators who provide mentorship and supervision to program participants. Students must attend in-person sessions from early March to late April at American University’s School of Communications, a long-time WABJ partner.
At the end of the program, students use the skills they learned to report and produce their own multimedia stories.
The program is free. We encourage all students in the DMV area interested in pursuing careers in media and appreciate our mission to consider applying regardless of their identity or background.”
