Scholastic journalism students develop important skills while on the staff of their high school or college newspaper, yearbook, online paper or broadcast program. But what do they do with those skills after they graduate? Behind the Byline answers that question – and the possibilities are extensive. This podcast delves into the lives and careers of former scholastic journalism students. They share how the skills they learned as students help them now, and how current student journalists can develop the skills they need to propel their careers. Brought to you by the Walsworth Yearbooks Podcast Network (WYPN), Behind the Byline provides inspiration, ideas and real life examples of the important role scholastic journalism can play in finding career success.
