Young Detroit Latino Journalists and Photographers Win Society of Professional Journalists Awards

The works of five Latino students from Detroit recently won Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Awards for their impactful journalism stories and photography. The aspiring muckrakers were mentored by Stephanie Steinberg, the founder of The Detroit Writing Room, to support and guide incoming high school students with their writing, photography, graphic design, and other creative fields.

The five awardees placed in the following categories: Feature Photography, Portrait Photography, Community/Local News Reporting, and Sports Reporting). The students at the Detroit Writing Room Journalism Camp learn from various experts and coaches over two weeks during the summer. From news reporting with former New York Times Detroit bureau chief Bill Vlasic to sports reporting with Detroit Free Press Pistons reporter Omari Sankofa II to food writing with Detroit News restaurant critic Melody Baetens, and even photography tips from New York Times freelance photographer Erin Kirkland, students receive top-notch instruction from the best in the business.

“We allow our high school students to connect with our coaches and mentors. Our signature program is the Journalism Camp which occurs each summer. Our students are led by professional journalists, mentors, and photographers. Thanks to our nonprofit and grant partners, we can offer this opportunity for free to our students,” says Steinberg.

With access to editors, journalists, and photographers from Detroit and New York, students have a chance to build valuable relationships with mentors who can help guide them toward future internship and job opportunities. On the last day, students share their stories with the group.

Angela Martinez, the 1st place award winner for her community/local reporting story, talks about how supportive and informational the Detroit Writing Room Journalism Camp is. She says she gained new skills and knowledge, which helped with her decision to attend Wayne State University’s journalism program in the fall. Martinez’s story covered the nonprofit Congress of Communities (CoC).

“I wanted to write an article on CoC because right before the camp started, I was introduced to their Instagram, where I saw that they held many events and organizations for everyone in Southwest Detroit,” she said.

Steinberg shares that only some students that come through the program may choose to pursue a career in journalism. “Our goal is to help kickstart their careers; many of our students may pursue something other than journalism. But they still utilize the skills in high school and early college courses. This training helps our students in whatever they decide to do, whether accounting or law.”

3rd Place – Ydaly Jimenez

Ydaly Jimenez, 3rd place winner for sports reporting, will attend the University of Michigan in the fall to pursue computer science. The Journalism Camp with the Detroit Writing Room helped her discover writing as a hobby. She enjoyed conducting interviews and working with a professional journalist one-on-one. But the story she chose to pursue is close to her heart.

“As someone from Southwest Detroit, seeing how youth from Detroit are gaining new opportunities is important to me. I found an interest in the steady growth of exposure to lacrosse in Detroit youth. I wanted to highlight the work done by devoted coaches and advocates aiming to make lacrosse a sport for everyone since everyone can play it when given the resources,” said Jimenez.

Feature Photography 2nd Place – Naomi Contreras-Hernandez

Local up-and-coming photographer Naomi Contreras-Hernandez says her mother heard about the program and helped her to enroll. Contreras-Hernandez says she has been interested in recording and documenting things through photography since childhood. When asked about her photo that won 2nd place, she said, “We’re just walking down the street, and I saw the flag, and I thought this would be a good picture.”

Josue Mata says he has always played with the idea of publishing his work, and the opportunity to be involved with Journalism Camp allowed him to take the initiative to begin writing. Mata talks about how he met with individuals from a legal clinic for his story and transcribed his interview for the first time. When asked why he chose to hone in on legal issues concerning immigration, he explains how this hits close to home for him.

“This subject matter is important because of what has happened in my family surrounding immigration laws. My family has had to work through immigration, so my career goals, interest in reading, writing, and even my credibility align with my career path”. Mata says.

The students’ photos are for sale and available online. All proceeds support the summer camps. The photos can be found and purchased at www.detroitwritingroom.com/shop/notecards

Los Jóvenes Periodistas y fotógrafos Latinos de Detroit ganan premios de la Sociedad de Periodistas Profesionales

Los trabajos de cinco estudiantes latinos de Detroit ganaron recientemente los premios de la Sociedad de Periodistas Profesionales (SPJ por sus siglas en inglés) por sus impactantes historias periodísticas y fotografías. Los aspirantes a muckrakers (periodistas de investigación) fueron asesorados por Stephanie Steinberg, la fundadora de The Detroit Writing Room, para apoyar y guiar con la escritura, fotografía, diseño gráfico y otros campos creativos, a los estudiantes que ingresaron a la escuela secundaria.

Los cinco premiados se clasificaron en las siguientes categorías: Fotografía de reportajes, Fotografía de retratos, Reportaje de noticias comunitarias/locales y Reportaje deportivo). Los estudiantes del Campamento de verano Detroit Writing Room Journalism conviven con varios expertos, por dos semanas durante el verano. Desde reportajes de noticias con el exjefe de la oficina de Detroit del New York Times, Bill Vlasic, hasta reportajes deportivos con el reportero de los Pistons de Detroit Free Press, Omari Sankofa II, pasando por escritos gastronómicos con la crítica de restaurantes del Detroit News, Melody Baetens, e incluso consejos fotográficos de la fotógrafa independiente del New York Times, Erin Kirkland, los estudiantes reciben instrucción de primer nivel.

“Permitimos que nuestros estudiantes de secundaria se conecten con nuestros entrenadores y mentores. Nuestro programa exclusivo es el Campamento de periodismo que se lleva a cabo cada verano, con periodistas profesionales, mentores y fotógrafos. Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores, podemos ofrecer esta oportunidad de forma gratuita a nuestros estudiantes”, comenta Steinberg.

Con acceso a editores, periodistas y fotógrafos de Detroit y Nueva York, los estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de construir relaciones valiosas con mentores que pueden guiarlos hacia futuras pasantías y oportunidades laborales. El último día, los estudiantes comparten sus historias con el grupo.

Ángela Martínez, ganadora del primer lugar por su reportaje local/comunitario, habló sobre el apoyo y la información que ofrece el Campamento Detroit Writing Room Journalism; comentó que adquirió nuevas habilidades y conocimientos, lo que la ayudó con su decisión de asistir al programa de periodismo de la Universidad Estatal de Wayne en el otoño. La historia de Martínez fue sobre el Congreso de Comunidades sin fines de lucro (CoC por sus siglas en inglés).

“Quería escribir un artículo sobre CoC porque justo antes de que comenzara el campamento, me compartieron su Instagram, donde vi que organizaban muchos eventos para todos en el suroeste de Detroit”, comentó.

Steinberg compartió que solo algunos estudiantes que pasan por el programa optan por seguir una carrera periodística. “Nuestro objetivo es motivarlos en sus carreras, ya que muchos pueden dedicarse a algo que no sea el periodismo, pero utilizan las habilidades en la escuela secundaria y en los primeros cursos universitarios. Esta capacitación ayuda a nuestros estudiantes en lo que sea que decidan hacer, ya sea estudiar contabilidad o leyes.”

Ydaly Jiménez, ganadora del 3er lugar en reportajes deportivos, asistirá a la Universidad de Michigan en el otoño para dedicarse a las ciencias de la computación. El campamento de periodismo con Detroit Writing Room la ayudó a descubrir la escritura como pasatiempo. Le gustaba realizar entrevistas y trabajar individualmente con un periodista profesional; pero la carrera que eligió seguir está más cerca de su corazón.

“Como alguien del suroeste de Detroit, ver cómo los jóvenes de aquí, obtienen nuevas oportunidades es importante para mí. Descubrí un interés en el juego de lacrosse con los jóvenes de Detroit. Quería resaltar el trabajo realizado por los entrenadores y defensores dedicados, con el objetivo de hacer del lacrosse un deporte para todos, ya que todos pueden jugarlo cuando tienen los recursos”, dijo Jiménez.

La prometedora fotógrafa local Naomi Contreras-Hernández mencionó que su madre se enteró del programa y la ayudó a inscribirse. Contreras-Hernández dice que se interesó en registrar y documentar a través de la fotografía, desde que era pequeña. Al preguntarle sobre la foto que ganó el segundo lugar, comentó: “Estábamos caminando por la calle, vi la bandera y pensé que sería una buena foto”.

Josué Mata dice que siempre ha tenido la idea de publicar su trabajo, y la oportunidad de estar involucrado en el campamento de periodismo le permitió tomar la iniciativa de comenzar a escribir. Mata habla sobre cómo se reunió con personas de una clínica legal por su historia y transcribió su entrevista por primera vez. Cuando se le preguntó por qué eligió profundizar en cuestiones legales relacionadas con la inmigración, explica cómo esto le afecta personalmente.

“Este tema es importante debido a lo que ha sucedido en mi familia con respecto a las leyes de inmigración. Mi familia ha tenido que trabajar a través de la inmigración, por lo que mis objetivos profesionales, interés en leer, escribir e incluso mi credibilidad se alinean con mi trayectoria profesional”. Dice Mata.

Las fotos de los estudiantes están a la venta y disponibles en línea. Todos los ingresos apoyan los campamentos de verano. Las fotos se pueden encontrar y comprar en www.detroitwritingroom.com/shop/notecards
