Delilah Rose, student journalist for Door County Daily News, prepares a news story

The Student Journalism Program is no longer accepting applications for student journalists.

The Student Journalism Program targeted high school students interested in pursuing a career in journalism. The program served to improve students’ written and verbal communication skills, digital literacy, investigative reporting, objective competency, and more.

In alignment with WIPPS’s mission, the program enhanced civic engagement among high school students, created the next generation for news reporting in communities, and provided marketable skills and college preparation. In addition, it mentored and equipped young and upcoming journalists with tools to master writing or reporting about the news, who would otherwise not have had access to resources to guide them.

As participants of the program, students got hands-on experience choosing story topics, finding sources of information, conducting interviews, and reporting on stories to be published and/or broadcasted.

The High School Journalism program provided an enriching environment with remarkable resources for students interested in journalism. There was ongoing and active recruitment for high school leaders of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities.
