28 years ago, Inquirer columnist Acel Moore founded a career development workshop as part of a lifelong goal to open up journalism careers to Philadelphia-area high school students. During the month-long, hands-on program, Inquirer staffers teach participants reporting, writing, editing, photography, and other new media skills.

Students produce First Take, the student newspaper, at the conclusion of the workshop. Over the years, more than 400 local students have used the program to launch successful careers in journalism and in other fields.

This year's theme is the 2012 presidential election and politics. Students have written on subjects ranging from youth-shaping politics and politics affecting social life to influential political figures and education.
