NABJ Student Projects Application (Deadline Feburary 18,2011)

For more than two decades, the National Association of Black Journalists has supported its student members and the future of journalism by offering students an opportunity to cover our annual convention and host city.

Program Description

NABJ offers an expenses-paid fellowship to outstanding students pursuing a career in journalism. For one week, students work on varied news assignments. Students will produce stories for the NABJ Monitor, our convention newspaper, NABJ TV, NABJ Radio and nabjconvention.org, our daily news web site. They will work alongside professional journalists and journalism educators from across the country. Students will gain hands-on experience using the latest tools to produce both breaking news as they cover NABJ's annual convention, and longer-form multimedia storytelling of broader issues.

Application Format

All applications must be received online. Resumes, cover letters, and clips should be uploaded as Word documents or PDFs. Complete links (where applicable) must be included. Use third-party sites such as Google Docs, YouTube, Flkr, or MyPodcast to provide links to work samples. Please screen your own work to provide the requested number of samples; we are not able to review all the content on an applicant's website. Please have these files ready prior to beginning the online application.

Qualifications

Positions are open to sophomores, juniors, seniors or graduate students attending a four-year college or
university, or an accredited community college. Applicants must have a demonstrated commitment to print or broadcast, and online journalism. At least one previous internship at a daily news organization is preferred, and multimedia experience is a plus.
