SAJA is delighted to once again have a team of student bloggers who will be covering the SAJA Convention via text, photos and video. This is a great chance for everyone to learn about what happens at the convention right here via SAJAforum.org/convention and for some students to get some experience and coaching from veteran journalists. This year's editor of the student blog project is Prabha Natarajan of Dow Jones (thanks for volunteering, Prabha!). Now, over to Prabha:
We have picked a talented group of student bloggers to keep you posted on what our terrific line-up of speakers have to say on a diverse range of topics from documentary film-making to being the editor of The Wall Street Journal. For your minute-by-minute feed on what you are missing, go to www.sajaforum.org/convention. We, also, will explore the issue of diversity in the newsroom through a series that asks journalists, editors, recruiters, and academics: "Are we there yet?"
The bloggers for the 2008 SAJA Convention:
- Bibek Bhandari, a rising senior at Texas Christian University who writes for the TCU Daily Skiff and Nepali Aawaz, a bilingual publication in New York City.
- Sneha Pradhan, a recent graduate of Wartburg College (in Waverly, Iowa), who has interned as a videographer at The Waterloo Courier and a reporter at The Waverly Newspapers, and also worked at Channel Nepal Television in Kathmandu.
- Ankita Rao, a rising senior at the University of Florida who has freelanced for several Florida publications and is interning this summer at "Yoga + Joyful Living" magazine
- Kashish Shrestha, a freelance photographer from Nepal who lives in New York, will take photos for SAJAforum under Preston Merchant's direction.
