The program portion of the Chips Quinn program isn’t fluff — it’s all about throwing down on journalism. In one weekend, hard-hitting speakers and thought-evoking exercises hyped up the scholars like a boxing coach in the corner of a ring. From the First Amendment to the first five graphs, the program’s content awakened a sense of urgency in the scholars — to freely reveal the truth to the public and to work vigorously toward mastering the craft.
On the verge of our internships, we carry with us the voices and spirit of dedication from the
Chips Quinn leaders, making the success of this big, daunting mission seem, well, possible.
