Say 👋 to @RobertsonSchool's @vcucns newsroom! More than 12 students in my copy editing class will fact check #VA General Assembly stories produced through @alixbryan's @vcucns course. We kicked things off with a tour of @VirginiaCapitol. Look out for our stories this semester!
Always great speaking with @RobertsonSchool students, but this time I got to do it with my co-worker and fellow Ram @Chandelis discussing digital reporting and writing 101!
Scavenger Hunt: We have a whole page of resources dedicated to this on our website, including how to find and apply for them. Hint*** you can contact Maggie McDearmon when you're ready to complete one...🕵️
‼️MONDAY @7‼️
Please join VCU SPJ & NABJ for a resume workshop with Robertson School Career Development Advisor Maggie McDearmon 👑. @ Virginia Commonwealth University https://t.co/NIqRbXwjEk
The thing about consistent layoffs at a local newspaper is that they resonate in the room for weeks. It drives journalists out, and people might think twice about pursuing a career in journalism.
That is bad for democracy. Journalists deserve secure futures.
Guest panel event Thursday, 7 p.m. in Temple 1165 for Student Press Freedom Day. The theme for the national student event is: Unmute Yourself. Four local reporters will share their early career advice, talk about censorship and self-censorship, and take audience questions!
Looking to join a student club this semester? Want to grow your network and get connected? @spjvcu is inviting students to an interest meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 9. at 6 p.m. in Temple room 2211A. OR join the meeting by Zoom. https://t.co/UI5DdjhXXo
There are exactly two Governor’s schools that meet or exceed the state’s public Ed population percentage of Black students at 22%.
And at Maggie Walker, Richmond’s flagship Governor’s school, they accepted white students at a rate 4x more than Black students for two decades.
