Backpack journalism, also known as backpack reporting, is a growing trend that involves the use of a camera and a small bag to document events. Backpack journalists are responsible for the creation of multimedia content and may also be producers, photographers, and videographers. They also cover news, events, and the environment. Whether they are traveling to a remote island or covering a world event, backpack journalism can be an invaluable way to keep a journal or report.
A Backpack Journalist was created in 2010 in Austin, Texas, after pilot tests. The company received support from the Texas National Guard Youth Council and the National Guard of Texas Military Family Support Foundation to bring the program to the area. The company now has headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina. The company’s mission is to help youth develop creative identities and build resilience. In order to reach students, the organization has built a nationwide network of journalism teachers, summer camps, and other business professionals.
The AOC Community Media (AOC) is a great place to start a backpack journalism team. They can find an adult sponsor, such as a parent or teacher, who is willing to mentor them. The AOC membership also gives teen journalists access to AOC’s studios and equipment. The program has grown so quickly, AOC has a team of students known as Radical Reporters. But, there’s more to backpack journalism than just news stories.
