The program began with professional journalists mentoring student journalists as they published their school newspapers. As a result, three decades of Detroit students have become better writers and thinkers. They saw the program as a way to get students interested in the news, encourage them to do more reading, and spur a new generation of journalists and responsible citizens. The Detroit High School Journalism Program was founded in 1985 by Detroit Public Schools Superintendent Arthur Jefferson along with Detroit Free Press President Jerome Tilis and Senior Managing Editor Neal Shine.

Students learn about social responsibility, the importance of education and how to produce news and information that is accurate, fair and responsible. This includes knowing how to seek credible information and how to make positive change in a community. The program’s curriculum focuses on practical application of writing and visuals, development of strong research skills, real-world use of technology and encouragement of civic engagement. The program links students at participating Detroit high schools with one of the premier university journalism programs in the nation and connects them with professional journalist mentors in their community, nurturing students’ raw talent and exhibiting their work center-stage in print and digital environments for their school and community.
