TC Program Fosters Aspiring Teen Journalists

Comments

Publication: Columbia Spectator
Date: April 25, 2008

Summary: Founded by Gordon six years ago, the SPI starts curriculum-based publications at city schools, often targeting the “neediest” classrooms. The program has worked with students in grade school and high school and with prison inmates.

Excerpt:
"SPI allows students to produce a range of projects. Last year, one school published a book profiling social activism, where each student studied current social causes in the city and wrote a profile on a particular activist, acquiring the chance to learn journalistic basics. In another school, students worked with a group of senior citizens for a year in the Bronx, recording and printing the seniors’ oral histories. Last year, the program published 23 books, and this year Gordon expects to put out 30 or more."
