It's time to start thinking about the New York Times Student Journalism Institute 2008 in New Orleans May 18 to 31. The Institute gives you a chance to join others who share your passion for news and to work with the best journalists in the business.
You'll make friends for a lifetime, and you'll learn lessons that will carry through a lifetime. You'll have a chance to work covering real news in the city whose hopes and challenges have become one of the biggest stories of our generation. And it doesn't hurt that all your expenses are paid.
Student members of the National Association of Black Journalists, along with students at historically black colleges and universities, are eligible to apply to the Institute.
The Christmas break is the perfect time to write the essay and put together the clips packet required. The deadline is Feb. 29, 2008 (postmarked).
To find out more about the Institute, and to see the work of the students who have attended previous Institutes, go to www.nytimes-institute.com. And while you're there, download the application form and fill it out.
