Missouri Press Day at the Missouri School of Journalism

Community News & You

Posted

The Missouri School of Journalism is hosting an event — Community News & You — to bring together students and Missouri Press editors and publishers. This event is a combination of networking and job fair opportunities and panels and discussion about community news and why it's an exciting time to work with Missouri Press members. You'll see in the schedule below, we'll have networking and interviews alongside a couple of panels in the morning. All attendees will come back together for lunch and a panel of editors and publishers.
