EL PASO – Twenty high school journalism students from the El Paso and Juárez area are expected to participate in The University of Texas at El Paso’s annual Journalism in July camp. This year’s camp runs from July 14-22 and will focus primarily on the multimedia aspect of journalism. “Journalism is an increasingly competitive field,” said Zita Arocha, director of borderzine.flywheelsites.com, senior lecturer of communication at UTEP and coordinator of Journalism in July. “Multimedia experience is essential for students’ future success.”

During the nine-day camp, presented in workshop format, students will attend lectures and seminars about brainstorming, reporting, photography, videography and editing. UTEP faculty and local media professionals will teach classes and seminars.
