The Verse City Workshop: A Career in Journalism?

This summer, in partnership with the East Metro Youth Services, the Verse City Workshop at Ryerson University’s School of Journalism will present a five-day intensive multimedia journalism camp. The Verse City Journalism Project at Ryerson University is designed to encourage youth from Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods to consider a career in journalism.

Here’s a glimpse of the conversation that occurred that evening:
