DePaul Journalism Program/Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Bootcamp

CSIS JOURNALISM BOOTCAMPSUMMER 2022

The DePaul Journalism Program and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a bipartisan think tank, jointly offer a unique practicum experience through the CSIS Journalism Bootcamp in Summer 2022.

We seek 10 talented students to represent DePaul in this program, which will involve an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. (July 16-23, 2022).

Selected students will engage in a multimedia reporting project that investigates food waste issues and solutions, thereby gaining knowledge and skills in storytelling and explanatory journalism.

During the week-long stay in D.C. students will have opportunities to interview world-renowned experts and interact with veteran journalists as well as top-level speakers on the subject matter. DePaul students will work with CSIS iDeas Lab mentors to produce a long-form story in multimedia (written text, audio, video, data visualization). The reporting project will be published on the CSIS official website and shared with its networks of experts and journalists.
