Portland’s three year shooting guard CJ McCollum graduated from Lehigh University with a journalism degree and a minor in communications. He has written essays for the Players Tribune, and covered the NBA Finals as a video host for Facebook. McCollum is currently the host of a weekly radio show in Portland.

McCollum decided to give a group of high schoolers an inside look at real life journalism by launching a program called “CJ’s Press Pass“. This is a program that will help mentor students in Madison High School’s Journalism Club.

After asking the students for their input on journalism, McCollum gave them their first assignment.
