JOURNALISM PROGRAM
Our NEW journalism course, open to high school students across New Jersey, is currently running for the fall term 2024!
Students enrolled in this course are learning how to produce a podcast episode and create their own news video featuring a story from their community. Students are matched with mentors (a real human being!) who will schedule regular weekly check-ins. Mentors assist students through the course content, complete their projects and learn more about journalism careers and the college experience.
The course runs March 18th to June 7th. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates.

About Industry Media Arts
Industry Media Arts was founded in 2009 originally as the New Jersey Film Alliance, a NJ non-profit 501(c)3 corporation. Our initial intention was to identify media professionals who wanted to provide mentorship opportunities to young students aspiring to learn more about the industry. As we know, film school is extremely expensive and the NJFA wanted to provide an alternate path of education for students unable to afford film school.
As the media industry landscape began to change, the NJFA adopted a new name and changed the focus of it's mission. We wanted to serve a larger population of students. To achieve this we began working with educational institutions and local communities to provide media studies and media production programs.
