Seattle Texas Washington, D.C. 2001 National Convention Student Projects AAJA is proud to present our annual student projects for the 14th Annual National convention held in San Francisco, CA, August 1-4, 2001. The weeklong student projects gives students an opportunity to practice daily journalism, network with professionals from major news organizations and gain valuable experience. Each project has completely functional and running newsrooms modeled after actual newsrooms to enrich their experience. Intern student staff will report on breaking news, features, profiles, in-depth issues, speakers and all other aspects of the convention. The professional staff of each project is comprised entirely of experienced working journalists that will select student interns.
Voices is the daily convention newspaper.
The Beat is the radio project that's designed to give students the opportunity to work on creating a radio broadcast. Now, the television project has given students a hands-on experience in creating a news program. Interns will be selected to be reporters, anchors and producers. Interns will maintain and manage all content and technological aspects of the convention web site. Student staff will be selected to be reporters, editors, graphic designers and programmers.
