Journalism professor Ray Eckness works with Montana high school students as they assemble a live broadcast on April 14.

The annual Montana High School Journalism Day was held April 14 at the University of Montana in Don Anderson Hall. About 250 students from across the state gathered at the Journalism school for classes in topics ranging from editing and writing to cell phone photography and broadcast news. Schools also received awards for the work they have produced this year — and for their 2015 yearbooks.
