Heritage Academy senior Jones Ray attended the National Youth Leadership Forum: Digital Media, Film & Journalism this summer in New York City.
The week-long forum held at Manhattan College gave Ray the opportunity to spend three days at the New York Film Academy working with specialists in the fields of broadcast journalism, filmmaking and cinematography. Ray worked as part of a team to create a digital publication and learned skills required to produce a two-minute film or TV news story.
