Jersey City students find their voice through Teen Magazine Literacy Program
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- As CBS New York first reported this spring, the Teen Magazine Literacy Program has touched the lives of thousands of Jersey City students over its 20 years of operation.

Three of the grand prize winners -- Janassia Wood, Marissa Wilcher and Melanie Barrett -- spoke with us about the program, along with its head Tamika McReynolds and HOT 97 DJ Wallah.
