MOSAIC

For 26 years Mosaic has offered high school students from diverse communities professional training in journalism through an intensive two-week summer workshop held at San Jose State University. Students learn the nuts and bolts of reporting, news writing, photography, multimedia and social media. Mosaic alumni have gone on to work for the nation's top newspapers, online sites and other news outlets. Learn more
