Duncanville Student, Camarion Johnson, Selected to Participate in UNT Journalism Program
UNT journalism program designed to enhance the newsrooms of the future
DENTON (UNT), Texas Duncanville High School student Camarion Johnson is among 20 students in Texas selected to attend the Emerging Journalists program, a two-year project by UNT’s Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism supported by the Scripps Howard Foundation. The program is designed to help ensure that media operations of the near future better reflect the diverse publics they serve.
“The students selected represent a diverse group of storytellers with excellent potential to further the future of journalism in Texas,” said Dr. Dorothy Bland, a program director at the Mayborn School. “While many are from the Dallas-Fort Worth region, it is wonderful to have students from as far south as Killeen and Houston who share a great passion for multimedia storytelling.”

Media columnist Corey Hutchins delves into a current project to map traditional news organizations and nontraditional information sources across the state.
You might have heard how “news deserts” are spreading and professional reporter ranks are dwindling around the country and here in Colorado.
The consequences aren’t pretty. When local news organizations diminish, research shows citizens can become less engaged in their communities, municipal finances can suffer, and corruption can flourish.
With fewer outlets and fewer reporters, increasing numbers of Coloradans have to find other sources to fill the gap. Learning how they actually do that and how we can help you better navigate a fractured media landscape is something we’re trying to figure out, though we’re still not finished.
