What's Next?

2.Develop a staff of high school, college, professional media to instruct training.
3.Reach out to people who could connect youth to the areas they should cover.

Going forward...needs, supports?

• Develop media forms to showcase these works
• Provide advance opportunities for those who excel (scholarships, internships, covering high profile events)
• Funding to purchase equipment, travel, etc.
