Greetings One and All:
Please find attached the 2008 application for the Online
News Association Student Newsroom. The ONA conference will be held September
11-13, 2008 in Washington DC. Please encourage your students to participate.
This is an exceptional way for them to practice their multimedia skills as well
as build their online portfolios. The application deadline is May
16.
This year the students who are selected will participate in
a summer social networking experience complete with tutorials. In
addition, students will visit the Washington Post Newsweek Interactive.
Finally and most importantly, the students will receive free conference
registration for their commitment.
We also need faculty and professional mentors to work
with the students. We are very grateful for your time and you will NOT be
expected to stay in the student newsroom the entire time. You will be free to
enjoy the conference. The students will keep in touch with you
electronically. Please let me know if you are willing to help.
We hope you will attend the conference as well.
Executive Director Lori Schwab and a team of dedicated professionals are
putting together a very relevant and practical conference. You will learn
a great deal and the opportunity for networking with media innovators will be
invaluable. To register: http://journalists.org/2008conference/archives/001041.php
Please publicize, post and share this information with other
professional associations and listservs, thank you for your support.
Peace,
Sybril
