Journalism Fellowships: “Reporting on Diverse Communities”
Apply now to attend CJC’s conference, “Reporting on Diverse Communities,” Oct. 12-13, 2006, in Las Vegas.
In areas across the U.S., racial and ethnic “minorities” are becoming demographic majorities. At least one child in five is from an immigrant family. Is your newsroom equipped to cover your community in these times of change?
This conference will examine realities and common myths about immigrants and the underclass, and the implications of growing diversity. Sessions will focus on trends in culture, education, social services, faith and civic life, as well as journalism workshops. As one of 25 journalists selected for a CJC fellowship, you’ll learn from provocative thinkers and inspiring colleagues. Fellowships are open to print, broadcast and online journalists and include lodging, meals, materials and a generous travel subsidy.
Applications must be received by Monday, Sept. 11. For an application and addition information, visit
