An interactive panel discussion about diversity in media kicks off our event. Then, students will attend a session featuring managers from outlets across Michigan who share what they’re looking for when they hire.

What’s next? Whatever your journalism heart desires. From noon to 6 p.m., choose between a slate of 13 breakout sessions to get the scoop on anything and everything in the news business, including: news reporting, building a beat, sports reporting, finding internships, photography and more!
