As part of the 2022 Scripps Howard Summer Internship Program, the Harrisonburg Citizen will select one MVJ member to participate in a 10-week paid internship.

MVJ is developing a database of military and veteran affairs experts for a reporting guide. They want reporters to know who they should contact when doing stories on military and veteran issues.

Who do you suggest they add? Let them know at [email protected] with the subject line "Veteran Affairs Expert Database."

Military Veterans in Journalism has an exciting new opportunity for members. It is a short class you can attend in person and a proven launchpad for a TV news career.

Thanks to generous support from the Ford Foundation, Military Veterans in Journalism has launched a disability inclusion initiative to create conversations and reporting within American newsrooms about military veteran issues, with a focus on disabled veterans.  As part of this effort, MVJ is launching a speakers bureau of military veterans in journalism to advocate for better, more nuanced reporting on disabled military veterans and to share best practices with newsrooms across the nation. 

MVJ is seeking applicants for its 2022 Speakers Bureau. MVJ will provide training to eight military veterans on best practices in disability reporting. Afterwards, the veterans will lead their own training and presentations at local newsrooms in the veterans’ communities.
