Community Journalism
The New Jersey Council for the Humanities (NJCH) and Journalism + Design at the New School are partnering with Atlantic Cape to create and deliver a free, noncredit community journalism certificate program to equip people with tools to better understand and articulate what is happening in their communities. Our new community journalism certificate helped students build the skills needed to become active contributors to local news in Atlantic and Cape May Counties.
