Multicultural journalism training with working reporters and editors. Travel and housing covered.
Our take
All-expenses-paid and open to every background despite the host. Small cohort, real newsroom mentors.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
