The High School Journalism Program is one of the longest-running programs at The Poynter Institute. Founded along with the Institute in 1975, its goal is to give young people the chance to learn about writing and develop a passion for the values and craft of journalism.

Formerly open only to high school students near our St. Petersburg, Florida campus, Poynter completely redesigned its prestigious summer High School Journalism Program in 2020 and made it available online to high school students nationwide. You can expect the same personalized, high-quality instruction from globally renowned Poynter faculty and award-winning media professionals, this year on a whole new scale.
