WASHINGTON, DC (April 20, 2012)-The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is pleased to announce its student and professional members who were selected to participate in the NABJ Student Multimedia Project at the 37th Annual Convention and Career Fair in New Orleans, LA. The five-day program will take place June 18-22, 2012.
"The Student Multimedia Project is a remarkable opportunity for our student members to receive hands-on training from some of the best journalists in the business," said NABJ President Gregory Lee Jr. "The program provides students with real-world experience that will further strengthen their journalistic skills."
For one week, students work alongside professional journalists and journalism educators to produce both breaking news and long-form multimedia stories revolving around the convention as well as the city of New Orleans. The students will produce stories for the NABJ Monitor, our convention newspaper, NABJ TV, NABJ Radio and nabjconvention.org, our daily news website.
"A digital revolution is changing the way we communicate and produce news stories," said Sarah Hoye, Student Multimedia Project Manager and CNN All Platform Journalist. "The goal of the Student Multimedia Project is to assist this talented group of student journalists with the tools needed to navigate the ever-evolving world of newsgathering."
The Student Multimedia Project is a part of NABJ's Student Education Enrichment and Development (SEED) Program, which provides students with scholarships, internships and training opportunities.
"NABJ's student programming has always been in the forefront of training the next generation of black journalists," said SEED Chairman Demorris Lee. "The Student Multimedia Project is a program that many of our professional members can attest to helping them in their careers."
