Faculty Kudos – Week of Nov. 16, 2009
Lisa Button, Kevin R. Kemper, and students Candace Begody and Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan presented "Native Perspectives: Oral Storytelling and 21st Century Journalism" at the 2009 American Indian Youth Conference held at the UA Nov. 13.
Kemper touched on similarities in Native oral storytelling traditions and journalism, as well as fact-checking and other journalism basics; Button discussed the 2010 Journalism Diversity Workshop for Arizona High School Students and internship opportunities for student journalists; and Begody and Ramon-Sauberan covered media stereotypes and invited students to submit stories to Native Perspectives. Organizers expected about 500 high school (and some middle school) students from across Arizona to attend.
