Journalism and Visual Storytelling Workshop

Get a taste of your career-to-be at our Summer High School Journalism workshop.

This year’s focus will be on visual storytelling.  Learn to tell stories through video and photography while meeting practicing media professionals.  By the end of the session, we will create a show with all of the visual content created to premiere it at a closing reception.  This show will then air on the campus television station’s website!

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to tour some of Pittsburgh’s best venues. Previously, students have visited PNC Park, the Washington Wild Things, PPG Paints Arena, Stage AE and even attended a live taping at KDKA-TV.

Plus, you’ll get to soak up Point Park University’s urban campus, while participating in fun and exciting activities around Downtown Pittsburgh!

What will you achieve in our workshop?

• Gain in-depth focus on your area of interest (i.e.: news, sports, entertainment, the environment, politics)
• Learn how to apply the principles of aesthetics to photography and video
• Develop better writing and interviewing skills
• Networking with professionals already working in the field
