The Yale Daily News Summer Journalism Program is a three-day intensive course in journalism for high school students. The program is run entirely by undergraduate staff members of the Yale Daily News. During the program, high school students participate in workshops on the fundamentals of reporting and writing, attend lectures by esteemed guest speakers in the journalism industry, and practice real hands-on reporting by producing a story. The students will publish their piece at the end of the program in a special issue produced by the Yale Daily News.
No prior journalism experience whatsoever is required! We will guide you through all the aspects of journalism and support you with publishing your piece.
The Yale Daily News will waive the program fee for all participants from New Haven Public Schools who would not be able to otherwise participate. Proof of financial need is not necessary; we will rely on the honor system. We ask that all other participants pay $500 for their time spent with the Yale Daily News during the program. The News uses this money to help keep our newspaper free for all readers and fund various initiatives within our organization, such as financial stipends for low-income members of the Yale Daily News.
