We’re back for another @kcabj1981 - Urban Student Journalism Academy - June 19-23. It’s a free, one-week training opportunity for high school and college students interested in pursuing careers in print, broadcast and radio journalism. Know anyone interested? Email - grice@kcstar

I did this workshop in the summer of 1999. It was an amazing experience! It's part of what has positioned me to enjoy a career as a print journalist and public relations practitioner. The KCABJ members took it serious, too. We students were demanded to uphold a high standard.

2nd consecutive year. FREE camp and opportunity to learn from professional journalists in the KC area!
