Student Press Day

On Monday, Dec. 12, 2011, Hofstra University’s School of Communication hosted its annual Student Press Day, where about 300 high school students from all over Nassau and Suffolk got a close-up look at how print, TV and online journalists work in today’s changing media landscape. The day included a presentation by Pulitzer Prize-winning animator Walt Handelsman of Newsday, a special panel on covering disasters, and workshops on social media, graphic design, and specialties such as business, investigative and sports journalism led by journalists and experts from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, PIX-11, News12, WCBS Radio, Newsday, and Hofstra University.
