Brought to you by MediaMate, The Leader in Student Media Management and Education.
MediaMate has been hosting educational events for student newspapers since 2010. This Spring, we are back in the Big Apple at the prestigious Harvard Club of New York City, located within walking distance of Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and The Empire State Building.
Our new event, Learn, Lead, Succeed, will feature hands-on workshops for student editors and business staffs, round table discussions on various media topics, networking with other student newspapers, and industry speakers. We have a very exciting keynote series this year, “Crisis on Campus,” in which the adviser and staff of The Lantern, student newspaper at The Ohio State University, will describe how they reported on campus attacks this past December. The Ohio State attacks were national news and The Lantern’s coverage was picked up by CNN, The Associated Press, and numerous other news outlets.
Hosted at the renowned Harvard Club of New York City, students will be required to present themselves professionally to gain experience networking and collaborating with their peers. Our event aims to inspire confidence and leadership that is present long after students depart the event. The event is limited to 100 attendees to maintain an intimate, intensive training environment where all students can comfortably participate. All attendees will receive a conference t-shirt and certificate of attendance.
This year’s event is April 7-8, 2017. The registration price includes all workshops, materials, a conference t-shirt, lunch, breakfast, and two coffee breaks at The Harvard Club. Travel accommodations must be booked separately. The registration deadline is February 28, 2017.
