SAN ANTONIO \u2013 San Antonio College students took on a challenging project: creating their own news stories from start to finish. <\/p>\n

The journalism program placed them in a real-world situation, requiring them to pitch story ideas, find interviewees, film, write and edit everything themselves.<\/p>\n

The hands-on experience came through a partnership between Dr. Pedro Cabrera, MJE program coordinator of journalism at San Antonio College, and Armando Camina, CEO of the nonprofit Hope Faith and Dreams Foundation<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Together, they provided students with real broadcast-journalism experience, teaching leadership, community engagement and media success skills. <\/p>\n

The mentorship program, in which KSAT is a partner, reflects the shared goal of San Antonio College and the Hope Faith and Dreams Foundation to promote cooperation, teaching and mentorship for aspiring journalists. <\/p>\n

The program selects eight dedicated students to work in two teams. Over three intensive workshops, students produce a two-minute news story from start to finish, balancing the demanding project alongside their regular schoolwork.<\/p>\n
