San Francisco, CA \u2013 The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) has selected 42 talented students from high schools across the U.S. to participate in JCamp 2019.<\/p>

The annual six-day multicultural journalism training program, which celebrates its 19th<\/sup> anniversary in 2019, will take place July 27 \u2013 August 1 at Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta, GA. Students are able to attend the camp at no cost to their families thanks in large part to the support of donors such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation and other sponsors.<\/p>

Over 700 students have graduated from JCamp since the inaugural program in 2001. Professional journalists serve as faculty mentors throughout the week and provide students with hands-on training in writing, reporting, photography, broadcast and online media. Among JCamp\u2019s core values are the importance of diversity in the newsroom and in media coverage, as well as the value of cross-cultural communication skills, networking, media ethics and the fundamentals of leadership and collaboration.<\/p>

“We are proud to announce this year’s class of talented and ambitious high school students accepted to JCamp, one of AAJA’s signature journalism training programs,” said Michelle Ye Hee Lee, AAJA National President. “AAJA is dedicated to developing a pipeline of diverse journalists \u2014 from high school to the C-suite \u2014 which we believe is key to diversifying all levels of journalism. Our JCamp students are the future of journalism, and we are so thrilled to welcome them to the AAJA family.” <\/p>

\u201cNothing makes me prouder than to applaud and welcome the newest generation of JCampers to our premier high school journalism program every year,\u201d said Arelis Hernandez, JCamp co-director. \u201cBringing them to Atlanta \u2014 the home of some of the nation\u2019s most important civil rights remembrances \u2014 we are reminded of the great sacrifice a free press makes at the cost of liberty. We hope to bring that message home to our young journalists as they explore and learn from the leading voices in journalism and experience something they will never forget.\u201d<\/p>

Arelis Hernandez, political reporter for The Washington Post and JCamp 2004 alumna, returns as the program\u2019s co-director. Ben Bartenstein, reporter for Bloomberg and JCamp 2011 alumnus, will serve as the program\u2019s co-director for the first time in 2019. The volunteer faculty members include Terrell Brown, news anchor for ABC 7 Eyewitness News; Paul Cheung, director of journalism innovation for the Knight Foundation; Kyndell Harkness, news and sports photo editor for The Minneapolis Star Tribune; Timmy Huynh, photo editor at The Wall Street Journal; Neal Justin, TV critic for The Minneapolis Star Tribune; and Richard Lui, journalist and news anchor for MSNBC.
