College Students Teach 8th Graders Civic Journalism
Andrea Frantz, professor at Wilkes University and co-vice chair of the AEJMC’s Civic Journalism Interest Group, has developed a project in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where college students mentor junior high school students in civic journalism concepts.
The Times Leader reports the kids so far have done a photo shoot in downtown Wilkes-Barre, had a television roundtable discussion and created public service announcements for radio about social problems.
