The Student Newsroom and Innovation Lab immerses 20 undergraduate and graduate college students in a digital media environment by providing hands-on experience during the 2022 Online News Association Conference (Sept. 21–24 in Los Angeles) and Online Journalism Awards (OJAs) Ceremony.
Each year, students and mentors are chosen from pools of applicants and tasked with producing content and tools for the Student Newsroom website before and during the conference.
Applications to join the ONA22 Student Newsroom are now closed.
