STUDENTS ATTEND JOURNALISM WORKSHOP

Eleven students from six Roanoke Valley high schools recently attended the 11th annual Roanoke Times & World-News 1993 Minority Journalism Workshop. The program is designed to encourage students to consider a career in journalism.

During their two-week visit to the newspaper, students learned about the jobs of reporters, photographers, copy editors and other newsroom personnel as well as careers in the circulation, advertising and accounting departments. The participants also examined the process of operating a daily newspaper.

Their activities included hearing and interviewing a number of guest speakers, taking field trips to the mayor's office, the Gainsboro neighborhood and the Harrison Museum of African American Culture, and producing a souvenir newspaper as a workshop memento.

The participants were:

Wayne Swain, a junior at Liberty High School.

Bhavik Patel, a junior at Lord Botetourt High School.

Taisha Claytor, a senior at William Fleming High School.

Lisa Broome, a senior at Cajon High School in Cajon, Calif.

Sherri Welcher, a junior at William Fleming High School.

Curtis White, a senior at Cave Spring High School.
