You've finished school and are trying to make sense of the big, bad (as in good, of course) world of journalism. Now what? Welcome to Generation J, the place where future newsroom leaders can collaborate to build newsrooms of the future. Looking for career advice? Get it or give it here. Got some industry insight? Share it. Want to rant? Fine. Trying to pick up new skills or build your portfolio? Consider this your training ground and art gallery. (All media are welcome — but know that we're featuring only the best work. So if it appears here, you're doing something right.)
Last but absolutely, positively and most certainly not least: Hang around here to stay on top of the issues that affect you and your newsroom every day. The Society of Professional Journalists will inspire you to improve and protect journalism.
SPJ Mentor Match-up:
Young working journalists often want advice and perspective from news veterans who understand much of what they’re going through. And let’s face it: news vets could certainly learn a thing or two from their much younger colleagues. SPJ’s Mentorship Match-up aims to promote great journalism by introducing journalists of different experience levels and similar interests. Learn more, and find out how you can participate as, or benefit from, a mentor.
