51%: A Female Journalists Initiative
Artist
Jennifer 8 Lee
The project will work with 15 female student newspaper editors and reporters (grades 9-12) selected from schools through NYC, with a focus on under-represented females from South and Southeast Asia. The students will work with professional female journalists to mentor them in media activism and practical skills (from oral history interviews to community news reporting). Participants will publish pieces and join a new, cross-generational network of professional contacts.
