BJPL Students featured on CBS News

Bronx Junior Photo League students were featured in "Young photojournalists' work from the Bronx Documentary Center" in a CBS News piece by senior producer David Morgan.

Jennifer Hernandez photographed Atiya Saunders in the Bronx, May 24, 2018, as part of a project on teen smoking.

       "As a teen in New York struggling to quit the tenacious vice of cigarette smoking, my goal for this project is to open up dialogue and possibly     
       make smokers think twice before lighting their next cigarette," said Hernandez. "With this continued second-guessing, it will – I hope –
       eventually lead to smokers quitting for good.
