Please, take a look at the info below (from The Nation):

We're pleased to announce that the second annual Nation/Campus  
Progress Student Journalism Conference will take place on Monday,  
June 25 in Washington, DC.

Student journalists from across the country will come together for  
one day full of workshops, panels, seminars, conversations and  
parties. The event is hosted by Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel  
and Campus Progress director David Halperin and will feature Nation  
writers including Barbara Ehrenreich, David Corn, John Nichols, Laura  
Flanders, Roberto Lovato and Ari Berman, among many other special  
guests.

Topics will range from covering corruption and reporting on the  
environment to sessions on muckraking, blogging and writing about the  
law and national security. The conference is entirely free, including  
food. Travel grants to DC are also available. Both undergraduate and  
graduate students are eligible to apply, but space is limited, so  
don't wait!

Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis until June 6th.
