Subject: Puffin/Nation Student Journalism Conference

Dear students,

I'm writing about the upcoming Puffin/Nation Student Journalism Conference. This October 9, building on four successful previous conferences, The Nation is bringing together the next generation of independent journalists to learn more about social movements and how journalists can better cover them through rigorous reporting, historical context, and a sense of mission.

Speakers include Katrina vanden Heuvel, Melissa Harris-Perry, Ken Klippenstein, Zoë Carpenter, Mark Hertsgaard, Elie Mystal, The Intercepts’s Liliana Segura, and Teen Vogue‘s Allegra Kirkland, among many others.

The conference is free for all accepted applicants. 

The day will feature workshops, panel discussions, breakout sessions, video screenings, networking opportunities, and a subscription to The Nation. We’d be grateful if you can help spread the word to anyone you know might be interested. 

All currently matriculating undergraduate and graduate students are eligible, as are International students. Young writers of traditional college-age not in school and recent graduates are also encouraged to apply. Recent college graduates will also be considered. All applications will be acknowledged and considered on a rolling basis until Friday, October 2. Find all information here.

Sincerely,
