Student News Editors, Student Journalists,
(I know it's summer time but I had to post)
Think about - uh oh - pooling resources so that top editors can go to
conferences for student journalists and learn what other student
editors/journalists are doing on their campuses; get in a grapevine,
learn to network (you can still be competitive while engaging in a
collective effort to learn). Think about it when you're working on
your student budgets for next year.
The info below is only an example (this not an endorsement and nor
does it imply nor infer that I'm a fan of Katrina vanden Heuvel):
Applications for the second annual Nation/Campus Progress Student
Journalism Conference are being accepted until June 6th. Taking place
on Monday, June 25 in Washington, DC, the conference will host
student journalists from across the country at the Center for
American Progress for a day of workshops, panels, seminars,
conversations and parties. Please pass this note on to any students
you know who might be interested.

The event is hosted by Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel and Campus
Progress director David Halperin and features talks by Eric Schlosser
and Barbara Ehrenreich; panels with David Corn, John Nichols, Helen
Thomas, Dahlia Lithwick, Ari Berman, David Cole and Tara McKelvey and
workshops with Laura Flanders, Jeremy Scahill, Chris Raab, Ezra
Klein, Betsy Reed, Richard Kim, Roberto Lovato and other acclaimed
writers and editors.
Topics will range from covering corruption and reporting on national
security and the Constitution to sessions on muckraking, blogging,
investigative reporting and cultural coverage. The conference is
entirely free, including food. Travel grants for students to DC are
also available. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible
to apply, but space is limited, so don't wait!

Last year, CSPAN broadcast our first Student Journalism Conference
live and replayed it many times last summer so we're hoping the
network will broadcast the proceedings again. Watch this space for
details and check the StudentNation site.

"There is an insatiable appetite for race-related discourse in the
country. Imus is just a barstool bigot, but there is such a river of
anxiety about race in the culture that it doesn't take much to tap
into it."
-- Edward Wasserman, a journalism professor at
Washington and Lee University.
