The New York Times Student Journalism Institute is offered once a year in May. Participants must be students (or December or May graduates) who are members of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists<\/a> or the National Association of Black Journalists<\/a> or students (or December or May graduates) at a historically black college or university. During the program, students are working journalists supervised by reporters and editors from The New York Times. Students cover actual events in New York City. Opportunities for students include reporting, copy editing, still photography, web production, newspaper page design, video journalism and interactive graphics and data journalism.<\/p>\n In a supportive environment of students and staff who share the same goals, aspiring journalists are given the opportunity to learn to produce material that meets the standards of the most prestigious and demanding news organizations in the nation. In addition, the students become part of a family of 450 alumni of the Institute, many now working at major news organizations that include the Associated Press, Reuters, The Los Angeles Times, Politico, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and The New York Times itself, as well as dozens of mid-size news organizations. The program represents one of the most effective networking opportunities available to young journalists. The program takes 24 students.<\/p>\n The next Institute will be held from May 19 to June 3, 2018, for student members of NABJ and NAHJ. Students who think they may have scheduling conflicts should contact the director of the Institute for information about flexible attendance arrangements.<\/p>\n The postmark deadline to apply to the Institute is Nov. 15.<\/p>\n There is no cost whatsoever to attend the Institute. Students are provided with room and board and all of their costs, including transportation to and from the Institute, are paid by The New York Times Company.
