Brooks Institute to host no cost journalism workshop

VJ Workshops, in partnership with Brooks Institute in Ventura, Calif., has launched a tuition-free multimedia workshop to be held at the Ventura campus of Brooks Institute from July 30 thru Aug. 2, 2009.

The tuition-free multimedia workshop is open to all university students and visual journalists who have been laid off during the last two years. The only costs for attendees are their personal expenses: travel to the workshop, transportation, food and lodging during the workshop.

VJ Workshops Founder and Executive Director, Paul Myers, developed the multimedia workshop to provide college students and professional journalists with strategies for storytelling in the ever-changing media landscape.

“Over the years, so many people in the visual journalism community have volunteered in support of the education of the next generation of visual journalists, Myers said. “Our goal is to give back to the visual journalism community by educating a new generation of visual journalists in current practices and strategies.”

The application deadline is June 21, 2009 and the workshop itself runs from July 30 - August 2, 2009 in Ventura, California. There are a total of 50 spots available.
