2022 MIPA Summer Journalism Workshop

Whether you’re a writer, photographer, designer, yearbook editor or news anchor — or if you’re just starting to explore journalism — MIPA will help you meet your goals and prepare for whatever challenges lie ahead.

You’ll spend five days on MSU’s East Lansing campus working with some of the best instructors in the nation as you become a better journalist, explore print or digital media creation and find your voice.*

* MIPA follows all Michigan State University safety protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic conditions at the time of our program could result in cancellation or a switch to remote learning.

We are planning for our 2022 program to be held in person. You’ll live on campus while attending the workshop, and you’ll be supervised by MIPA’s workshop staff. We’ve got lots of activities for you.

Participants will stay in an MSU residence hall with at least one roommate. For those wishing to room with a friend, include their name on the registration form. (We do our best to honor roommate requests, and generally assign participants from the same school to rooms near each other.)

Meals are provided in a residence hall cafeteria. We generally can accommodate most dietary needs. 

Workshop sessions are held in MSU classrooms, which may be a short walk from the residence hall.

MIPA and MSU are committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services and activities. Contact us to discuss your needs.

Our instructors include leading media educators and professional journalists from across the country.

We keep class sizes small so you’ll get all the individual help you need. Learn the latest trends and innovations, plus get motivated and return home ready to make your student media the best it has ever been! Don’t work on the student media staff at your school? That’s OK, too. We’ll help you build your skills in writing, design, photography, video and more!
