On Monday, November 14, 2016, Ms. Anita Luera, the director of ASU\u2019s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism<\/a> for high school students, spoke to more than three dozen students in Mr. Rana Medhi\u2019s journalism and Ms. Marie Little\u2019s yearbook programs at Pueblo Magnet High School, primarily discussing the value and power of journalism in our society today.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalism should be about the truth, and our society needs the truth more than ever,\u201d Luera said. \u201cJournalism careers will increase as people will always need news, and hopefully well-balanced, fair, objective news.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also promoted the upcoming 2017 Summer Institute at ASU for all students interested in media careers. Students can begin applying for this program as early as January.<\/p>\n

Pueblo senior Victor Garcia was encouraged by his media teacher last year, Ms. Pamela Shapiro, to apply\u2014and eventually be accepted to attend the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism Summer Institute last summer. Garcia said that he wanted to explore the modern facilities of the school as well as its technical parts, including the contemporary newsrooms. For two weeks, Garcia worked with other students from mostly Arizona, as well as one student from France.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe [the students in the program] still keep in touch via group chats,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cThat\u2019s how close we became because we had to work together and produced a media package.\u201d He paused and said, \u201cIt\u2019s an intense program\u2014you really learn a lot about the world of journalism and have to meet deadlines and be responsible. I would encourage all students who have a general interest in media to apply for this prestigious program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garcia said that he learned a lot about diplomacy in the Summer Institute. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t all about journalism,\u201d he said. \u201cMy work ethic improved a great deal when I returned this year to Pueblo as a senior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garcia said that he hasn\u2019t firmly committed to a collegiate major, but at this time, he is exploring an option in public policies\u2014somehow involved in the political world.<\/p>\n

Luera visited a few other media programs, including radio (with Ms. Sarah Wilson and her students) as well as photography (taught by Ms. Emma Tarazon).<\/p>\n

This is Luera\u2019s ninth year of visiting Pueblo Magnet High School, speaking to hundreds of students over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never get tired of coming to Pueblo,\u201d Luera said. \u201cYour school [Pueblo] is very fortunate to have so many different media programs\u2014especially as part of your magnet program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anita Luera, a long-time journalist and past president of the Arizona Latino Media Association, is the first director of high school journalism programs for the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.<\/p>\n

Luera oversees an expanding array of high school programs, including national training institutes for high school journalism teachers and students. She also leads school\u2019s outreach programs to high schools around the region that are working to develop and improve their journalism programs.<\/p>\n
