Everything I need to know, I learned in high school journalism
For most of the day, I would sit in classrooms where teachers would lecture. In journalism class, the lessons were structured differently.We started “Solving the Digital Skills Dilemma,” a panel on technology in journalism education, with a video of a high school student. She told the camera that for her entire life, she had been told what she couldn’t do. But in her journalism class, she was not only told how much she was capable of, but she went out and did it. ¶ Listening to her speak, I flashed back to high school. I, too, had been that girl: scared, insecure, uncertain of what I was capable of.Samantha MatsumotoApr 10, 2015
