2010 Youth Impact Survey August 2011

Journalism Program

Survey The McCormick Journalism Program earlier this year conducted a survey of its news literacy and youth journalism grantees to determine the impact of programs in Chicago.

Methodology  MF staff created a 12-question

Survey Monkey questionnaire that asked about partnerships with high schools, youth reached, teachers trained and neighborhoods where programs take place.

 MF staff collected school data from the CPS Office of Performance.

 MF contracted the Urban Data Visualization Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago to produce maps using ArcGIS.

Collective Impact Some 23 youth journalism and news literacy organizations were surveyed: •  Grantees served 6,874 young people in the

Chicago area. •  These students live in 43 of the city’s 77

neighborhoods, with the most activity in Roseland, Englewood, Grand Boulevard, Humboldt Park and North Lawndale.

•  Grantees reached students in 87 Chicago schools and 23 other schools in the suburbs.

•  Grantees trained 153 teachers.

News Literacy & Youth Journalism For the purposes of our grantmaking clusters, we also broke down the survey results into two categories.

News Literacy  2,484 students in Chicago were directly

reached by news literacy programs.  News literacy programs were available in

32 schools.  53 teachers received news literacy

training.

Youth Journalism  4,390 youth in the Chicago area were directly

reached by MF youth journalism grantees.  Nearly all of McCormick’s 2010 youth

journalism grantees have infused a strong news literacy component into their programs.

 Youth Journalism programs operate in 78 schools.

 About 100 teachers received youth journalism training.

Maps In partnership with the Urban Data Visualization Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Journalism Program developed a set of four maps to illustrate this data.

Chicago Community Areas This map shows the Chicago community areas where our grantees are working and reveals a concentration of programs in the near South and West sides.

Chicago Students Served This map shows our partners by grant type (news literacy or youth journalism) and illustrates the volume of students served by each organization. Programs span citywide and reached a total of 6,874 young people in 2010.

Chicago Schools Served This map shows the reach of our grantees in Chicago high schools (and a handful of middle schools). In 2010, our grantees reached students in 87 Chicago schools and 23 other schools in the suburbs.
