Newsroom 101
Newsroom 101 is an award-winning program for students in grades 9 through 12, or the homeschool equivalent, presented by The Oklahoman. The program is for students who are interested in journalism and would like to produce stories, photos and more for a newspaper and website.
The program is free, and students compete for awards and scholarships. Students in the greater Oklahoma City metro area are eligible to participate; transportation can be arranged for students who need it. Program participants meet once a week for 11 weeks between January and April.
Newsroom 101 began in 1994 and has won the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Association of Educational Publishers twice, most recently in 2006, and has been a finalist eight times.
