DEADLINE: NAHJ Student Project

Applications are now being accepted for the National Association of Hispanic Journalists' premiere training program for student journalists — the NAHJ Student Project. Many journalists, leaders and educators got their start through the project. NAHJ was the first diverse journalism organization to create a convention newsroom training opportunity for students.

College students will work on improving their skills in a newsroom setting during the national convention. Under the guidance of professional mentors, students will write, report, shoot and edit video, shoot photos and cover events on social media to help prepare them to compete in a challenging media market. NAHJ students will produce stories on the national convention and on the Latinx community for the Latino Reporter Digital, the website dedicated to the Student Project. NAHJ covers the students’ travel, convention registration, hotel and meals for the convention.

The week-long newsroom will be held at the NAHJ Conference & Expo in Chicago, IL, July 9-12, 2025. Accepted students are expected to attend the full week, so they will need to request the week off if they have full time jobs or internships.

The Student Project experience has helped students obtain internships and many alumni have gone on to work in some of the top media outlets in the country.

You must be an NAHJ student member to apply.

Deadline to apply is December 20, 2024.
