DEADLINE NOW EXTENDED TO 12 p.m. MONDAY, JUNE 17:
A picture is worth a thousand words, which will save you a lot of space if you’re a journalist. Spend three days with leading Dallas Morning News journalists and Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalists and learn how to illustrate a story with powerful images. This three day intensive workshop will take high school students behind the scenes at the newspaper and offer new perspectives on how to tell a story.
If selected to participate, you will be given a behind the scenes look at visual storytelling. From hands-on photography workshops to sitting in on meetings with top editors at the Dallas Morning News, this three-day workshop offers a glimpse into the world of visual journalism.
