WBHM Host/Reporter Andrew Yeager will deliver the keynote address at Samford University’s Department of Journalism and Mass Communication high school journalism workshop Sept. 13. This annual event features current Samford journalism faculty, as well as active journalists who teach certain skill sets in their respective fields of broadcast, print and photojournalism.

“It’s a great way to learn the ropes in a four-hour workshop and find out about what it’s like to work in journalism today,” said Dr. Sheree Martin, Samford assistant professor of journalism and mass communication.

Details on the workshop are available here.
