Renew. Re-charge.
Re-set. Re-connect.
Join us in mid-March for the spring edition of the nation’s largest gathering of collegiate journalists and advisers — the Spring National College Media Convention, March 18-20.
This virtual convention is scheduled when we need it most. We’ve quarantined, worked remotely and kept our distance, all while documenting a tumultuous 2020 extending into 2021.
Now, more than ever, we need each other as journalists. We need to share our stories, to learn from each other, to give each other a pat on the back.
Building this celebration of all things collegiate media are these convention sponsors — Associated Collegiate Press, College Media Association and College Media and Business Managers, with the Journalism Association of Community Colleges and California College Media Association.
Don’t miss out. Register now.
If you registered and attended,
you can watch the recorded convention programming until April 3.
Enjoy!
Leadership. Diversity. Innovation. Digital. Specialty reporting.
