Native Voices (formerly Student Projects)

Each year, college students majoring in journalism are given the opportunity to get hands-on experience in producing a daily newspaper, radio or television newscasts, or a news Web site through NAJA's annual Native Voices (formerly Student Projects) during our national convention.

This year, Native Voices will be a part of the 2010 NAJA Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

More than 25 college students are selected from a pool of applicants to participate in the weeklong journalism and mass communication workshop. Participants learn basic and advanced journalism and reporting skills from Native and non-Native media professionals employed at newspaper, radio and television organizations across the United States.

NAJA looks forward to working with students across the country at next year's convention.
