A monthly newsletter of the NYC Youth Journalism Coalition

⛱ September 2024

Hello Subscriber First Name!

Welcome to the 11th issue of our monthly newsletter, The Inkling! Keep reading for news from the NYC Youth Journalism Coalition, including introducing our new Manager, student opportunities, and student reporting spotlights.

👋 Meet CJ, the coalition’s new Manager!

We’re excited to introduce our new full-time Manager, CJ Sánchez! CJ’s role with the coalition is supported in-kind through Leadership for Educational Equity’s Public Policy Fellowship.

CJ is excited to get to know you and understand your goals with the coalition - find a time to meet with them.

CJ began their career as an 8th grade public school teacher in Clayton County, Georgia! Last year, CJ was in D.C. strategizing legislative advocacy for various justice initiatives. Now, CJ is back on the other side of the classroom as a part-time graduate student in the Sociology and Education program at Columbia University's Teachers College.

📣 September Coalition Meeting

Our first monthly meeting of the school year is Wednesday, September 18 at 6-7pm ET on Zoom.

💡 Featured Student Opportunities

Apply to join PBS News Student Reporting Labs’ Student Advisory Team for 2024-2025
Deadline: Friday, September 27

Student Reporting Labs is looking for high school journalists to join their Student Advisory Team and help shape their editorial coverage! The time commitment is about 12 hours total, and participating students will receive a stipend. Prior journalism experience is not required.

The NYTimes Headway Team wants to hear your thoughts!

The NYTimes Headway Election Challenge, in collaboration with Chalkbeat, wants to know how you’re participating in—or tuning out— the 2024 election. Every week between now and the election, they will publish new sets of questions and highlight responses from teens. Then, they'll create a time capsule of teen engagement in the 2024 election. This is a cool chance to be a part of history!

NAHJ recently expanded their student membership category to include high school students! To commemorate this, they are offering a free one-year membership to the first 50 high school students who would like to join. Student NAHJ members gain access to numerous exclusive benefits designed to elevate their journalism career and support their professional growth, including a career center, trainings and workshops, and more.
