Boris Q\u2019va, Georgia<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boris Q\u2019va is  a young, highly creative, Afro-Cuban Journalist with expertise in Sports, Race & Ethnicity, and Culture.  He\u2019s a member of  the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) as well of the Society of Professional Journalists. Boris is a graduate from Full Sail University newest programs, \u201cThe Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too often conventional journalism dehumanizes communities of color and other marginalized groups with coverage that is biased, infrequent, and little connection with those groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to a lack of diversity and inclusion in newsrooms, there is an urgent need to train journalists to be transparent in news gathering and reporting on the complexity of racial identity, social constructs relating to ethnic terms, and cultural competence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covering race, ethnicity, and culture: a guideline for fair and accurate storytelling<\/em> is a course designed to go beyond the inverted pyramid of basic news writing in examining the terminology, usage, and word choice of stories providing greater visibility and understanding of deep-rooted inequities in all aspects of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 12-week initiative Fellows will also get mentoring and hands-on experience in producing stories from concept to execution focused on social justice, determinants of health, and community empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest speakers will also share insights on networking with purpose, strategies in managing one\u2019s career, and the experience of often being the only person of color in the newsroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugo Balta, Owner\/Publisher, Latino News Network<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Balta is also the owner and publisher of the Latino News Network<\/a>and Associate Editor with The Chicago Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Journalism Camp is designed to go beyond the inverted pyramid of basic news writing in examining the terminology, usage, and word choice of stories providing greater visibility and understanding of deep-rooted inequities in all aspects of society\u201d, said Balta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hortencia Zavala Foundation, a supporter of Journalism and Communications students with invaluable scholarships since 2016 expands its mission by introducing its first ever mentoring program via the Journalism Camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Journalism Camp sponsored by the HZF is a collaboration with LNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
