About the Student Project:
College students will work on improving their skills in a newsroom setting during the national convention in Miami, FL. Under the guidance of professional mentors, students will write, report, shoot and edit video, shoot photos, and cover events on social media to help prepare them to compete in a challenging media market. NAHJ students will produce stories on the national convention and on the Latinx community for the Latino Reporter Digital, the website dedicated to the Student Project. NAHJ covers the students’ travel, convention registration, hotel, and meals for the convention.
In the spring, students will take part in a virtual boot camp, led by the mentors, to prepare for the newsroom work. They will also submit pitches for stories they’d like to cover.
The week-long newsroom will be held at the NAHJ 2023 International Training Convention & Expo at the InterContinental Miami Hotel in Miami, Fl from July 12–15, 2023.
The Student Project experience has helped students obtain internships and many alumni have gone on to work in some of the top media outlets in the country.
