Meet the Students of Connect, NLGJA’s Student Journalism Project

by | Sep 3, 2015 | News | 142 comments

Each year at its national convention, NLGJA hosts Connect, a program that brings student journalists from across the country to the convention city for a week of mentoring, training and professional development. Working with a group of mentors — a team of journalists from across media platforms — each of this year’s 12 students will work on their resumés, interview with recruiters and journalists, and get a taste of what it’s like to work in a converged media newsroom.

Students are working on stories about a variety of topics, including NLGJA’s convention and news from our host city. Expect to see them blogging and live tweeting from selected sessions throughout the event.
