It will support the creative ideas of participating journalists of color through a series of two-day "boot camps" at each of the four summer 2010 UNITY alliance partners’ conventions. In addition to offering training and one-on-one mentoring, the program will include a competition for start-up funding to assist news entrepreneurs to realize their ideas. Four participants will be chosen from a competitive applicant pool in advance of each UNITY alliance partner convention, and notified of their acceptance. Participants' travel expenses will be covered through the grant, as well as the cost of the program. Online applications will be available within a few days starting with those for the NAHJ convention. Application periods for the subsequent partner conferences will roll out after that. Check back frequently to see when applications open for NAJA, NABJ and AAJA. Apply today! More Information The New U boot camps will take place at the following conventions:
