The Urban Journalism Workshop is an eight-week forum for high school students interested in a career in media. The participants attend high schools in Virginia , Maryland and the District of Columbia. They study print, radio, television and digital media. They also produce a newspaper, a radio news-magazine and television news broadcast. Many of the eager students have gone on to study journalism in college and now have careers in the filed.

The workshop is sponsored by the Washington Association of Black Journalists and The Washington Post’s Young Journalists Development Program. It meets on Saturdays.
