EUGENE--About 20 minority students from Oregon high schools will produce a newspaper in a week's time during a high school journalism workshop this June at the University of Oregon. The free workshop, which is scheduled to run from June 14 to June 20, will accept applications through April 25, and participants will be selected soon afterward, according to UO journalism professor John Russial, the workshop director. Students will do all of the reporting, editing, photography and design for the paper, and they will have an opportunity to help produce an Internet version, Russial said. Participants will attend classroom sessions in the mornings, and in the afternoons they will work closely with visiting newspaper professionals and journalism professors. The workshop, including room and board and transportation to and from Eugene, is free to participants. Students will stay in a residence hall on campus with college-age chaperones. The workshop, the fourth held at the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon, is funded by a grant from The Oregonian Publishing Co. and the S.I. Newhouse Foundation. For information and application forms, contact John Russial at the UO School of Journalism and Communication, (541) 346-3750; e-mail jrussial@oregon.uoregon.edu.
