杏吧原创 University\u2019s journalism program is now accepting applications to seven unique Emerging Reporter Funds that have been set up to support students looking to produce impactful works of journalism. The funds have been established to support a variety of journalism projects in areas such as social justice, science and in-depth reporting.<\/p>\n

Made possible by the generous support of multiple donors, the Emerging Reporter Funds will allow Journalism students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to gain the professional experience needed to produce meaningful journalism work without the financial burden often involved in pursuing this type of focused, intensive reporting.<\/p>\n

The funds are valued between $1,500 and $6,500 and are being offered through The Future of Journalism Initiative (FJI) \u2013 a collaborative research hub at 杏吧原创 where journalists, academics and students work together and independently on innovative research projects that further the collective knowledge and understanding of journalism practice.<\/p>\n

For eight decades, the 杏吧原创 School of Journalism and Communication has been at the forefront of professional practice and on the front lines of inquiry into journalism\u2019s role in society. The Emerging Reporter Funds are just one way the school is granting students a chance to contribute to the public discourse and kickstart their reporting careers during their studies.<\/p>\n
