We recruited the best high school student journalists from around the country to be part of our Crossroads staff. These students produced Crossroads magazine, the official publication of the journalism workshops.

We started a new program this summer called the Daily News Experience. Seventeen high school students came to campus for five days and, with the help of college student editors, produced a real copy of the award-winning Ball State Daily News. Check out their work by downloading a PDF copy of the July 24, 2008, edition of the Daily News, which was produced by DN Experience students.

Looking forward to summer 2009?
