I've got the chance to witness some incredible talent from teen photojournos at St. Louis Public Radio. This lets young photogs know their skills will set them on a great path for success. I remember being a kid and having opportunities like this lead me to doc film/journalism.

This teen photojournalist program is one of my favorite things we do at STLPR. Help us keep it going for #GiveSTLDay !

David!! This is awesome!

Major kudos to the The GW Hatchet who had several photographers featured

This is big.

We are hiring our first intern.

Even bigger: We're partnering with LatinoNewsNetwork.com to offer this paid summer position!

Three Metro East police departments — Brooklyn, Washington Park & Alorton — rank in the top 10 of Illinois agencies that have hired the most officers after being fired elsewhere.

Caveat: Alorton merged with Cahokia and Centreville to form Cahokia Heights back in 2021.

So this is what they look like when cicadas emerge from their exoskeleton. We're gonna have half a trillion in St. Louis. #cicadafever2024

As we walk into internship/fellowship/etc season I will reiterate this:

If your cohort is majority private universities, ivies and top 10 J-schools, you aren't working hard enough to make sure your newsroom reflects the America that journalists are tasked to cover.

Join SPJ, NPPA and Student Press Law Center tomorrow for a webinar on the legal rights of visual journalists — student and pro —covering campus protests. The panelists will discuss privacy rights of protestors, practical tips, censorship concerns and more.
