The NABJ Career Mentoring Program matches students and new professionals with dedicated members wanting to ensure that the next generation of black journalists thrives in the newsroom. This year-long process will help young journalists understand the proper protocol and the culture of the newsroom. It will also give them the chance to listen to people who have already gone through what they will have to face and that can help guide them through the proper channels for their professional expectations.

The mentor program will launch in late summer of 2008. To have your named included on the email notification list, please send a email to Irving Washington, Program Manager, at iwashington@nabj.org.
