Note from the Course Director

We are happy to be back with yet another edition of the Journalism Camp for 2008.
Our intention is to introduce this wonderful field to young people who are in high school and can benefit from basic training.

More than 20 people responded to our invitation and we expect to have a dozen at this year's camp.
We are constrained to host the training in Raja Annamalaipuram because that is the only space we can spare!
We are aware that the location discourages young people from other parts of Chennai from signing up.

The summer is with us and the heat could dampen the group which is on this course as it goes about looking for stories in the neighbourhood. But we always tell our students not to give up. A journalist never says 'no'.
This course has the potential to sharpen young minds and help them discover the world around.

We hope the group of 2008 enjoys the course and files lots of interesting reports.

Welcome!
