In August 2009, aspiring teen journalists came to the WHYY studios for a journalism summer camp. The students, under the guidance of WHYY's news department and Learning Lab, engaged in a weeklong intensive course in multi-media journalism. Working in teams, the young journalists produced stories in multiple formats: print, video, and audio. You can read, watch, and listen to their stories here.
