ONA Launches Journalism Mentorship Collaborative to Help Improve Diversity in Newsrooms



The Online News Association (ONA) has launched the Journalism Mentorship Collaborative, a program supporting news professionals seeking to develop or expand inclusive mentorship opportunities in newsrooms. ONA is accepting applications to join the Collaborative now through Friday, Feb. 2.

Newsrooms often cite recruiting and retention of diverse talent as a priority. The Collaborative aims to support newsrooms making investments in addressing this challenge. ONA will create a peer network for sharing ideas, document best practices for mentorship programs and — best of all — open a challenge competition to support innovative mentorship initiatives from a pool of $125,000.

Headed by NPR’s Doug Mitchell, the Journalism Mentorship Collaborative's leadership team is responsible for developing the curriculum for webinars and fellowship training, as well as providing region-specific coaching to the fellowship participants. P. Kim Bui, Charo Henriquez and Amy Kovac-Ashley will serve as advisors to the leadership team.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different
then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Greetings.

First and foremost, I hope all is well and wish you and your loved ones the happiest of holiday seasons.

The platform I use is called "Blogger", which is Google-based. You can log on to Blogger.com to learn more and view numerous templates that are available.

If I can ever be of assistance, contact me at FromTheGMan@gmail.com. "G-Man"
