NYABJ/LIU High School Journalism Seminar, sponsored by the Journalism Department in collaboration with the New York Association of Black Journalists, serves New York City high school students and journalists. This program is currently in its second year.

Students are exposed to the field of journalism within a university setting and a state-of-the-art news writing lab. They are trained in news writing and in desktop publishing skills by professional journalists. For a final project, students produce a publication based on their experience in the seminar. Past seminar speakers have included Les Payne of Newsday, Lisa Brownlee of the Wall Street Journal, and Sherie Holder of Sports Illustrated for Children. Community leaders also address the group.

This intensive seminar meets all day Saturday for a period of seven weeks. Thirty students are chosen to participate from various high schools including Boys and Girls High School, Paul Robeson High School, John Dewey High School, Amityville High School, John Adams High School, and Sacred Heart High School.
