FG/CH Youth Blogging Workshop (free) - Next Week

The Local, the New York Times blog covering Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, is looking for highly motivated local high school students with an interest in journalism to participate in a FREE summer workshop.

The workshop, which will take place July 13 - 15 in Fort Greene, will train students in the basics of covering a community – in this case, their own neighborhoods of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. Students will learn to use a variety of media. Lunch will be provided.

After the training session, students will be working with reporters at the Local to report and write about their neighborhood. Topics will include politics, school, sports and everyday life. Some of their work will be published on the blog, at www.nytimes.com/fortgreene.

Students must be entering grades 9 through 12 and must live in Fort Greene or Clinton Hill. Space is extremely limited, so apply now.
