As part of the HBCU Digital Media Fellowship, up to five students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) will receive hands-on experience during the annual three-day Online News Association Conference which also gives them high-profile exposure and advanced practical knowledge of emerging technologies, tools, and approaches to reporting and distributing news online. Fellows participate in networking and receive training from industry leaders. Supported annually by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, each fellow will receive a free conference registration to ONA and a one-year ONA student membership.
