WJMC 2024 Photo Dump!! (Session 1, 7/7 - 7/12)
Hey I’m finally back! I’m aware that this is a month after the time I was there, but I got caught up with stuff in my personal life and didn’t find the time to update everything. I’ll be doing a photo dump plus some notes about the day. Hope you have fun reading :)
Tired. Will update the last few days and tonight somewhere around tomorrow.
Day 2/3
Apologies for not updating yesterday. I was very tired.
Day 2
In the morning, we had a simulation that centered around the First Amendment. The scenario was that a teacher had admitted that she purposefully alters AP scores as she gets a pay bonus for passes. The student journalists made a report on it, the principal had it censored, and now the school board has to decide if the report should be censored or if it can be released with no censorship.
My character was an overworked school board member raising their four young kids by themself while their spouse is deployed.
When the final verdict was made (the paper was to be released uncensored and the principal and assistant principal were to be investigated), I turned around and saw the person playing the principal doing this.
We later went to Planet Word and had some fun there. Journalist Doni Holloway was the speaker there.
We later went to tour the memorials. I visited the WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, among other veteran statues.
Day 3
Our first speaker of the day was Andrias White Murdaugh, an event planner and journalist. Her speech was very upbeat and put a lot of focus on the youth correspondents. After that was Kevin McCarthy (not the one you’re thinking of m), a film critic on Fox 5. His speech was also very good.
We later went to the National Press Club and saw Susan Goldberg, President and CEO of GBH, and Nicholas Johnston.
Also. Some stuff that was provided.
Day 1, Sunday
It was good. The people there are nice, and the speaker was very interesting.
