Hi Subscriber First Name!

Happy New Year! Keep reading for news from the NYC Youth Journalism Coalition, including a spotlight on our recent roundtable with the DOE, details on our next coalition meeting, and upcoming student opportunities!

🏛️ YJC Students Led a Roundtable with DOE Leadership

Last week, our student leaders facilitated a roundtable of students, City representatives, and DOE leaders, including the First Deputy Chancellor, Dan Weisberg.

In a large rotunda of Tweed Courthouse, students presented on the progress of Journalism for All, shared anecdotes on why this matters to them, and engaged DOE leaders in conversation about their commitment to scaling the initiative and complying with City legislation that would bolster it.

Following the program, Council Member Joseph sat down for an interview with High School for Global Citizenship students for their upcoming January edition of HSGC Today!

🗓 First Meeting of 2025 this Wednesday!

Our first meeting of the year is this Wednesday, January 15 at 6-7pm ET on Zoom.

Join our monthly Coalition-wide meetings to hear and share updates from YJC working groups, student journalists, and partners across the city. We hope to see you there!

Members: Email info@youthjournalismnyc.org if you don’t have the Calendar invite with the Zoom link.
