WJMC EDUCATORS SPEAK
“The Washington Journalism and Media Conference is the highlight of my year. What unfolds for correspondents and staff in just five days is nothing short of magical. We all have front row seats to some of today’s brightest journalistic leaders, hands-on creative journalism during a real-world simulation, exhaustive exploration of the nation’s capital, and inclusion into the family of WJMC staff and alumni for life. It is during this week that I am at home with my people: inquisitive, energetic, and hopeful. It is an honor to be part of the WJMC family!”
As a Broadcast-Video Production instructor from Kennesaw, GA, I’ve been fortunate enough to nominate several students over the years. The process for the students and their families was easy and the information on the website answered all their questions. It was an incredible opportunity that the students have raved about ever since. I highly recommend giving your students the chance to have an experience of lifetime by nominating them for the Washington Journalism and Media Conference.
“WJMC is a special place. Yes, you spend a week networking with some of the nation’s top journalists, teachers, and students, but it’s so much more than that. WJMC is a place where you can be yourself and step outside your comfort zone. Bigger things await when you do. I always tell my correspondents that if they take a risk and try something new—whether it’s singing karaoke at Planet Word, introducing a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist at the conference, or simply serving as a team leader—WJMC will pay them back tenfold.”
