Congratulations to junior Kate Taylor who was selected to represent Marietta as a National Youth Correspondent to the 2016 Washington Journalism and Media Conference at George Mason University in July.
Kate will join other selected students from around the nation for the conference. During the event, she will hear speakers from the field of journalism and take a series of classes taught by professionals who are leaders in the media community. The focus of the coursework will be to challenge participants by simulating newsworthy events. Students will be required to problem solve as the situations unfold, making decisions about how to best report the events. During the sessions, Kate will explore the creative, practical, and ethical tensions inherent in journalism and media.
