This year’s faculty is made up of university instructors, working journalists and communication professionals in radio, television, print and online. Over the three weeks of the workshop, they will offer lessons and insights related all aspects of storytelling.

The power of storytelling: The School of Media and Journalism, one of five schools in Kent State’s College of Communication and Information, helps students discover the power of storytelling – the news story, the feature story, the multimedia story, the client’s story and the short film. And in the process, we help students discover their own brand stories: who they are, what unique skills they offer and what they want to do with their professional lives.
