Hattiesburg High School hosted a multimedia workshop from June 14 to June 21, mentoring students from across the state.
The workshop consisted of 16 selected high school students, who studied under professional journalists about how to produce in television, radio, and newspaper.
The students covered the 10 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which took place in August 2005. The students heard from journalists who covered the storm, and heard from residents who experienced the storm.
The high school students were interviewed by USM students afterwards. They had a chance to share what they experienced and remembered about hurricane Katrina.
Pontotoc resident, Ana Grace Warren, remembers the cleaning up process the adults took on.
The students also shared what they thought of the workshop and how it benefited them.
Warren Central student, Charlie Robinson says, “I learned to write better, learned to interview, and take pictures better.”
The workshop is free to selected students, and students with an interest in multimedia production are encouraged to join the program and increase their knowledge for their future.
