UConn Journalism will host a Local News Job & Internship Fair on Saturday, March 25.
WHERE: UConn Storrs Campus, Oak Hall, Fourth Floor North near OAK 408
WHEN: Saturday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to noon.
WHY: UConn Journalism is committed to strengthening the local news landscape in Connecticut and the region. We want to help connect local newsrooms with aspiring, well-trained young journalists.
We know that strong local journalism builds social cohesion, encourages political participation, educates and empowers people. Local journalists inform and guard the public they serve. Local news helps us see, know, care about and understand our communities. It drives conversations and serves as the public record.
WHO: This event is co-hosted by our new UConn student chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. It is open to college journalism students in Connecticut, especially seniors graduating in May 2023.
Confirmed participants include WTNH-TV, Fox61, WFSB News, Hartford Courant, The Day, The Connecticut Mirror, Record-Journal, Journal Inquirer, Connecticut Examiner and Western Mass News.
