High School Journalists

RTNDF High School Broadcast Journalism Project

RTNDF's High School Broadcast Journalism Project helps today's high school students become tomorrow's broadcast journalists by offering a wide range of programs and activities that fund, support and advocate electronic journalism education in high schools across the country.  By working with students, teachers and administrators, as well as the broader journalism community, RTNDF plays a critical role in creating broadcast journalism programs, developing curriculum and garnering support for the programs within their communities.

• Advocates on behalf of teachers and programs
• Partners with outside organizations, such as the U.N., The Library of Congress and the McCormick Tribune Foundation, to showcase high school broadcast journalism programs.
