Journalism Camp vs. GLA Journalism Programs
While journalism camps are often close to home and focus on telling stories about things you already know a lot about, GLA's journalism programs take you out of your comfort zone to find stories that often go unnoticed. Think of all the now-famous journalists who got their first big break reporting overseas. The professional journalism field is competitive, and sometimes it takes an unusual reporting experience to step into the spotlight. Sharpen your skills with the help of professionals who write stories abroad for a living, and find your authentic voice for sharing news with the world at-large.
