Editors can search for candidates from their communities or students who attend nearby colleges.
The Talent Bank is the result of a special partnership between ASNE and some of the country's top college professors. The professors enter the names, e-mail addresses and backgrounds of their most talented students who are interested in careers in newsrooms. Other professors and journalism programs will be asked to contribute to the Talent Bank. All qualified candidates attending ASNE-sponsored job fairs also will be entered in the database. The editors can use the Talent Bank to find candidates for reporters, copy editors, photographers and, in the future, graphic artists and online personnel.
