East Oakland writers, photographers, videographers and community journalists now have a unique opportunity to advance their skills in a professional environment.
Oakland Voices, a community journalism collaboration between the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education and the East Bay Times and Oakland Tribune, is accepting applications for its 2016-17 class.
The nine-month cohort will collaboratively train and publish works by East Oakland community journalists, with emphasis on digital storytelling, blogs, social media and visual and audio narratives. Reports will focus on the deeper, personal fabrics of the Oakland community, from healthcare to culture, income disparity and lifestyle.
Funded by a two-year, $160,000 grant from the California Endowment and supported by the East Bay Times and Oakland Tribune, Oakland Voices has become an essential platform for highlighting the community's untold stories.
Applications are due by September 12, 2016. Please use the link to apply now:
