Welcome to HSBJ
The High School Broadcast Journalism Project (HSBJ), a journalism education program of RTDNF, promotes broadcast journalism by helping high schools establish and maintain outstanding broadcast journalism programs.
With HSBJ’s support, schools, teachers and students receive the information, training and resources needed to create and run successful radio, television and online multimedia programs.
What's new?Features
The REALLY? curriculum.
Sources, Verification and Credibility is an interactive online course gives your students the tools to evaluate the credibility of what they read, see and hear – and what to ask before you pass along any information. It’s was put together for RTDNF by veteran journalism adviser Candace Bowen who is now at the Center for Scholastic Journalism at Kent State University.
Your students could win $1,000 for themselves, plus $1,000 for your class in our new, year-end video PSA Contest. Check it out.
Teachers in LA and NYC can take advantage of this four-day training opportunity to learn hands-on camera work, script writing and digital editing.
