The Carolina Photojournalism Workshop was founded in 2004. Each year a small group of multimedia students travel to a different part of our state to produce a documentary website in a week. The stories students produce are historical snapshots, which examine treasured North Carolina cultures and traditions that are often in flux. In the years to come, we hope to work closely with communities in producing a truly living historical archive.

Over the years, the workshop has become an indispensable learning experience for our students. There are no distractions; students work from dawn to dusk every day, pushing themselves and their colleagues to become better journalists. Students work closely with some of the finest professionals in the industry, who stay up late into the evening performing nightly edits.

We invite you to explore our online archive of past workshops, including last year’s “Cape Fear to Down Here,” which was awarded first place in 2009 Best of Photojournalism and Atlanta Photojournalist contests.

Thanks to all the families and organizations who participated in this year’s workshop.
