The News Tribune is again helping to sponsor the Summer Journalism Workshop at Seattle University.
The workshop, under the leadership of former Seattle Times reporter Tomas Guillen, gives selected high school students the chance to develop their skills as journalists under real-world conditions.
Professional journalists from newspapers around the state work with the students, with the goal of getting their work published in the mentors' own newspapers or on their web sites.
Beginning Friday, I'll be working with four students:
• Jordan Seto, an Anderson Island resident and a student at Charles Wright Academy. He's the son of Natalie Bates and Peter Seto.
• Kristie Hsin of Federal Way. Kristie's a student at Decatur High School and is the daughter of Marie Chang and Ming Hsin.
• Andrea Muffly, who lives in Snohomish and attends Snohomish High School. Her parents are Cathy and Gerard Muffly.
• Joe Sutton-Holcomb of Port Orchard. Joe's a student at Vashon Island High and is the son of Frank Holcomb and Nancy Sutton.
Among the top local stories in Thursday's News Tribune:
• The Boeing Co. and its supporters in Congress won a major victory Wednesday when the Government Accountability Office issued a report concluding that the Air Force made "major errors" in awarding a multi-billion-dollar contract for new tanker aircraft to a team led by Grumman and Europe's EADS consortium.
• The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation's top military leader, came to the Puget Sound area Wednesday to visit with soldiers and airman at Fort Lewis and McChord.
