More than 60 high school students from around the state got a chance to interview Arizona newsmakers including Liliana Soto, press secretary for Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs. They also heard from the marketing team for the Rafi Law Group.

 

Following the morning news events students had the choice of writing up news stories in English or Spanish. Local journalists and media professionals provided writing tips. Other journalists judged the writing and winners were provided cash prizes.

 

Students also heard from Cronkite School instructors and toured the Cronkite News studio. Over the years more than two thousand high school students have attended the ALMA journalism workshops. Many of those students have continued their education at the Cronkite School and have gone on to careers in journalism, public relations and other media.
