Connecting People to Projects

Part of what we do here in the Journalism Program is to help organizations connect and tap into the wealth of information and resources available through our grantee network. This year, the News Literacy Project in Chicago is making its innovative news literacy program available to After School Matters (ASM) instructors interested in engaging students in journalism, news and media. ASM is a non-profit organization that offers Chicago high school teens innovative out-of-school activities.

To read more about this exciting partnership and for ideas on how ASM teachers are implementing news literacy in their programs, visit  http://www.afterschoolmatters.org/instructors-and-partners/instructor-resources. If you have journalism resources to share, or would like to find out more about how to get involved in youth media, journalism and news literacy, we'd love to hear from you!
