You’ve waited all year for it. And now it’s finally time to register for the National Jewish Student Journalism Conference! Get excited. It’s on Facebook.
This year’s conference will take place May 20-22, 2012 at the NYU Bronfman Center in New York City. It’s sponsored by New Voices Magazine, the Jewish Student Press Service and The Jewish Daily Forward in partnership with The Beacon
The National Jewish Student Journalism Conference is a national gathering for:
- Jewish student journalists (duh)
- Jewish college students
- Students who are Jewish journalists
- Student journalists who happen to be Jewish
- Whoever else decides to register.
Past speakers have included writers, editors and journalists from every corner of the Jewish world and from the mainstream secular press.
Some of this year’s confirmed sessions include:
- A multimedia presentation by the hilarious — and controversy-inducing — comic artist Eli Valley. (He drew the image on this page.)
- A walking tour of landmarks from the old Jewish Lower East Side — including the original Forward building — led by Sam Norich, the publisher of the Forward
- Forward writers Josh Nathan-Kazis and Naomi Zeveloff will talk about what they’ve learned while reporting “Israel 101,” their ongoing series about Jews on campus
We’re also going to a comedy club one night — partially so we can bond, but mostly because we’re in New York, so why not?
What’s stopping you from going ahead and registering?
