For the second consecutive year, the Student Press Law Center – along with Investigative Reporters and Editors and the Education Writers Association – is co-presenting the Campus Coverage Project, January 6-9.
The Campus Coverage Project is underwritten by a grant from the Lumina Foundation for Education, and it pays all expenses for 75 college student journalists to receive three days of intensive training at Arizona State University’s Cronkite School in Phoenix from some of the leading professional journalists in the field of higher ed coverage.
The training is supplemental to the programming offered at College Media Advisers/Associated Collegiate Press functions in the spring and fall. It is laser-focused only on reporting skills aimed at holding colleges accountable for the cost and quality of education they are providing.
Everyone – two-year and four-year schools, public and private, print and broadcast – is encouraged to apply, with the caveat that preference is given to students who are at least a year from receiving their degree as of January, so that they have a year remaining to put the training to use at the college level.
Applications are due Sept. 27, and information about applying (along with a program from last year’s conference) is available at:
www.campuscoverage.org
(P.S., average afternoon temperature in Phoenix in January = 67 degrees.)
