Over two hundred students from twenty-three schools attended High School Journalism Day at California State University, Northridge on Oct. 20.
Students travelled from across Southern California to participate in contests, workshops and Q&A’s with journalism professors, L.A. Times journalists and the local Press Photographers association. CSUN’s Department of Journalism hosted the event in collaboration with the Southern California Journalism Education Association, HS Insider and the LA professional and CSUN student chapters of the Society of Professional Journalists.

I loved the presentations my fellow journalism advisers gave at today’s #csunjday on multimedia tools and team building. It’s always great to pick up new skills & activities I can use in the classroom. Learning isn’t just for the students. https://t.co/G07brEpnxC

Today I judged high school photojournalism student's photos at #CSUNJDAY and they were great. After the session, one asked me why I was so nice during the critique. What a power move! Brave. Real brave, kid. Seek critique, not praise. calvin.alagot@latimes.com pic.twitter.com/fltnIM1LI7
