FRANCISCO, CA</span><span>--(Marketwired - May 19, 2017) - </span> The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) selected 42 high school students from across the country to participate in its signature student program, JCamp.<br><br>The annual program, which celebrates its 17<sup>th</sup> anniversary in 2017, will take place July 22 - 27 and will be hosted by Temple University's Lew Klein College of Media and Communication in Philadelphia, PA. JCamp is a six-day multicultural journalism training program for freshmen, sophomores and juniors in high school who attend the camp at no cost thanks in large part to the support of donors such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation and other sponsors.<br><br>Students will receive hands-on training in writing, reporting, photography, broadcast and online media from professional journalists serving as faculty mentors. Among JCamp's core values are the importance of diversity in the newsroom and in media coverage, as well as the value of cross-cultural communication skills, networking, media ethics and the fundamentals of leadership and collaboration.<br><br>Over 650 students have graduated from JCamp since 2001.<br><br>"This is a critical time for the news industry to reach the next generation of journalists and that generation must represent the diversity of this country. The JCamp program is a vital part of that outreach and one that the Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple is proud to support," said Arlene Morgan, assistant dean of external affairs.<br><br>Arelis Hernandez, political reporter for The Washington Post and JCamp 2004 alumna, returns as the program's director. "When people ask me what makes JCamp so special, I point them to our students," said Hernandez. "In its 17<sup>th</sup> year in operation, JCamp alumni have gone off to stellar careers and become leaders within their own communities and fields, taking to heart the one-on-one instruction on fact-finding, the deep social questions we explore and the sense of duty we promote to tell the truth even when it hurts. At JCamp, our mission is not limited to creating the next generation of media professionals, but of building civic leaders who value the freedom of the press, diversity and critical thinking. In their applications, our 2017 class showed us these are the subjects they are thinking about as young people."<br><br>Neal Justin, TV critic for The Minneapolis Star Tribune, returns this year as JCamp's associate director. The volunteer faculty members include Ben Bartenstein, reporter for Bloomberg News; Clea Benson, deputy editor for POLITICO Pro; Paul Cheung, Director of Visual Journalism for NBC News Digital; Cristela Guerra, reporter for The Boston Globe; Kyndell Harkness, news and sports photo editor for The Minneapolis Star Tribune; Caridad Hernandez, executive producer, investigations and special projects for CBS4 Miami; Timmy Huynh, photo editor for The Wall Street Journal; and Padma Rama, broadcast journalist for The Associated Press.<br><br>AAJA is proud to accept the following students to JCamp 2017:<br><br>Nell Mari Barrios (Linn-Mar High School -
