I was a member of NLGJA's Connect: Student Journalism Training Project 2018. As a Connect participant, I worked with mentors from major news organizations as well as a cohort of students with specialties in digital, print, broadcast, and audio journalism. I also attended the convention and had the opportunity to interact with leading LGBTQ journalists within in the industry.
While at Connect, I wrote an article titled "Growing online harassment is everyone's problem" about rampant online harassment facing journalists and the ways in which newsrooms protect their employees from threats of doxxing.
You can learn more about the student training project on the NLGJA Connect website.
