National Association of Hispanic Journalists
The student chapter works to increase the recruitment and involvement of young Hispanic journalists and to enable all journalists to better cover their diverse communities. Our chapter works with The New York Times Student Journalism Institute, which in 2012 chose the School of Journalism as the exclusive site for its 12-day training to be held every other year in May.

Students interested in investigative reporting share story ideas, newsgathering techniques and news sources. They are encouraged to join Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc., which provides members access to thousands of reporting tipsheets and other materials through its Resource Center and hosts conferences and specialized training.
