Day 1
Journalism & Technology Academy kicked off today at the Fontana Campus of Chaffey College. Attending this summer's program are promising young writers from as far away as Victorville.
The program is open to middle and high school students in the Inland Empire. The curriculum is designed to promote media literacy and includes modules on newspaper writing, media ethics and Internet safety. Participating students are groomed to become staff writers for Face 2 Face, a bi-monthly magazine published by OneNation Media Services. Journalism & Technology Academy is made possible thanks to the financial support of Transcendence, a local nonprofit organization that provides financial support to other community based organizations with similar objectives. In addition, Chaffey College is making available a computer lab where students are conducting online research and completing their written projects while class is in session.
