Incredible opportunity
Check out the amazing two-week Summer Journalism Institute offered by the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) and the Reynolds Foundation for journalism teachers.
This fully funded (air fare, housing, food, training, materials)
program brings 160 journalism teachers from around the country to one
of five university campuses for two full weeks of intensive training in
scholastic journalism.
Participants earn university credit, and
ASNE then pays for a full year's membership in each participant's state
organization. There are more than 20 advisers in our state who have
participated in this program, and each one comes back energized,
inspired, and possessing an arsenal of new materials and resources.
