During their time at OIDJ, students will build a blog if they do not already have one, and be encouraged to blog about their experiences. At the end of every day, students will be recognized for their work in certain categories, including best blog post and best blog design.
In journalism, blogging can be a way to further engage with the audience and can play an important role in supplementing the story told in an article, radio show, broadcast piece or other form of storytelling. Keep up with student blogs throughout camp below!
