In classrooms just off St. Paul’s Cretin Avenue, high school students piece together sound bites and interview notes they will transform into published work, marking them as journalists — broadcast or print, depending on the workshop.
Participants in the ThreeSixty Journalism program have been coming to the St. Thomas campus for 20 years, learning an age-old craft that allows them to tell stories that reveal important realities about their communities. Many of these budding journalists eventually join the ranks of representative truth tellers the program has helped grow for the last two decades.
“Our students realize how important it is for them to share their stories, what’s important and what people need to hear more about,” ThreeSixty Executive Director Chad Caruthers said. “We empower them to share their stories and we amplify them, but at the end of the day, our community needs their stories.”
