Welcome to the home of the Robert W. Greene Summer Institute for High School Journalists!
Our thirteenth year is off to a great start, with students from high schools on Long Island and New York City. They were accepted into the program because they all have already produced great work for their schools in the spirit of pioneering Newsday investigative reporter and editor Robert W. Greene, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and a founding faculty member of Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism.

Each Greene Team member will work on news stories that will require them to perform key journalistic tasks on all media platforms including writing news stories, taking photographs, producing, shooting and editing video, conducting an interview, addressing a newsmaker at a press conference, posting text and images to a blog or website and covering a speech.
Each student will also work virtually on Stony Brook’s television program appearing live in front on camera at the virtual anchor’s desk or reporting live as an on-air television correspondent.
By the end of our weeklong workshop, each participant will work in a team on various multimedia assignments that will be posted here. Students will be blogging throughout the program also.
We invite you to explore the site to see the fine work the students produce!
