DEADLINE: UNITY Journalists for Diversity Fellowship

Event Date: 
March 10, 2017

UNITY Journalists for Diversity is sponsoring a student reporting fellowship for 2017. Deadline to apply is Mar 10, 2017.

This is a rare opportunity for college students to develop immersive multimedia and reporting skills from all over the country. The fellowship is designed to simulate convergence journalism, technology and cross-cultural communications. It will also provide recipients a chance to apply for positions and internships at some of the country’s best represented job fairs.

One UNITY fellow will be selected to cover the AAJA, NABJ, NAHJ/NAJA and NLGJA conventions, with travel and hotel accommodations provided. The student fellow will participate in convention and student training that will include topics such as interviewing, multimedia, ethics, and visual and audio techniques. The student fellow will also be given convention assignments to cover issues related to the journalism industry. A group of skilled journalists and media professionals will also be selected to act as mentors and guide the UNITY fellow as they report on each convention.
