The Washington Journalism and Media Conference
Nominations are now being accepted for 2010 National Youth Correspondents. George Mason University is the host of the Washington Journalism and Media Conference (WJMC) and each year welcomes High School National Youth Correspondents from all over the country. National Youth Correspondents join the Mason community each summer, which includes students and faculty from all over the world. Mason is both the largest public university in Virginia and one of the most culturally diverse universities in the nation. This summer's conference will take place June 27-July 2, 2010. Located in Fairfax VA, Mason's beautiful campus is just minutes from Washington D.C. The unique learning opportunities in and around the nation’s capital are only part of the reason why George Mason University is ranked the #1 “School to Watch” by US News and World Report. Nationally, Princeton Review and Kiplinger’s rank Mason among the 50 best values in higher education. Mason is the only school in the D.C. area to receive these distinctions. Prospective students can explore Mason's interactive site at http://www.masonmetro.com. Mason attracts proven and innovative leaders in communications, media research, new media, and electronic journalism. Faculty members have developed the WJMC curriculum to suit the needs and potential of the nation’s most talented future leaders in the field. Curriculum includes hands-on learning with industry leaders, not only from Mason, but from international media outlets and Washington insiders. High School National Youth Correspondents will experience an integrated and forward-thinking approach to journalism and media, while acquiring valuable "in-the-trenches" knowledge.
"The WJMC was an amazing week filled with both educational and life enhancing experience and activities. I learned so much from every person who spoke, attended, and put on the conference." ~Grace Knight, National Youth Coorespondent representing Rhode Island
