Founded in 2002, the Lemke Journalism Project is an award-winning media training program for high school students interested in community reporting in Northwest Arkansas. It is hosted by the School of Journalism and Strategic Media at the University of Arkansas.
LJP runs for six consecutive Saturdays in February and March at Kimpel Hall on the University of Arkansas campus. Students work with faculty, local journalists and public relations professionals and UofA student mentors to produce podcasts, television news roundtables and a newspaper.
The Lemke Journalism Project is named for Walter Lemke, the founder of the University of Arkansas School of Journalism and the Arkansas Scholastic Press Association.
