Sinclair’s News Reporter Academy Returns March 30

Sinclair Broadcast Group’s News Reporter Academy, an interactive workshop for college students interested in pursuing a career in news reporting, will hold its next virtual session on March 30 from noon to 3 p.m. ET / 9a.m.-noon PT.

Now in its second year, the News Reporter Academy, hosted by Sinclair’s corporate news operation, gives students an opportunity to learn about working in a newsroom and interact with Sinclair’s industry-leading teams.

In the three-hour interactive session, students will learn the basics of news reporting and investigative storytelling, managing a social media presence, how to look and sound their best on-camera and how to package a resume and reel.

After the success of Sinclair Broadcast Group’s Producer Academy, a workshop for students interested in pursuing a career in digital or broadcast news producing, which is now in its fifth year, the company developed a seminar for students focused on news reporting.

This free, virtual workshop is open to undergraduate and graduate college students.

Students must register in advance by March 25: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsc-6tqjkqGNWwZIRFQ47sVkHkrp8_GeZm
