The 53rd annual California Scholastic Press Association-Cal Poly Journalism Workshop - the most prestigious high school journalism seminar in the nation - will return to the beautiful California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo campus this summer.
The workshop, from Sunday, July 18, through Friday, July 30, is limited to 25 high school juniors and seniors considering a career in communications. The students will be housed in the same dorm on campus used by most of the faculty, enabling the participants to meet and confer with these professional journalists throughout the day and evening, as well as in the classroom.
Participants will complete 35 journalism assignments, and have the opportunity to:
• Attend several press conferences
• Learn how to cover a simulated breaking crime story
• Cover a trial
• Write a football game story
• Conduct an interview
• Report on a simulated major disaster
• Prepare a magazine story
• Learn editing techniques
• Have their high school newspapers critiqued
• Practice online journalism
• Produce and tape their own television newscast
• Shoot and process news photographs
Students accepted should expect to attend classes from 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Students should expect to write as many as five stories a day. Graduates receive a prestigious certificate of completion.
This year’s instructors include:
• Steve Harvey, Los Angeles Times feature writer and columnist
• Art Aguilar, former community newspaper editor and publisher
• Stan Kelton, attorney, First Amendment specialist
• Jay Berman, retired Cal State Fullerton journalism professor
• Gil Chesterton, award-winning high school journalism adviser

• Chris Carlson, award-winning freelance photographer
• Nicole Vargas, reporter at the San Diego Union-Tribune
• Larry Welborn, legal affairs reporter, The Orange County Register
This is the journalism workshop I'm going to July 18-30th. Shit, I think they chose the wrong girl. I'm not good enough for this. Did you catch the part about 5 stories a day?? Shit. That's crazy. Man, this is going to be intense. And the hours: classes from 9am-10pm...I need to grow another hand to count them all! I'm scared...a little bit excited....but mostly scared. I wish I had a friend to go with me. And, I just got a letter today that said there is a mandatory talent show in the second week. WTF. I don't have a talent. Writing is my talent...and I'm not so sure if I'm even that good at it.
Anyway, if you want to send me mail...here's the address:
Cal Poly: Kimberly Cruikshank
c/o journalism department
Graphic Arts building
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407
p.s. the AP scores are in and let's just say I passed all four! woohoo, even calculus! That was a crazy test.
Bye.
