Since its inception in 1984, the Multimedia Journalism Workshop (MJW) at The University of Alabama has served as a recruitment program, offering high school students of all skill levels across the country a pathway into journalism and media careers. Open to all aspiring storytellers, MJW helps students develop essential professional skills while reporting on real stories and issues.
During the immersive six-day program, participants live in UA dorms and sharpen their abilities in reporting, writing, editing, design, and photography. Through hands-on experiences such as field trips to historical sites in Tuscaloosa and the surrounding region, along with lectures from media professionals, students produce multimedia content on real deadlines, preparing them for future success in journalism.
