A Moment of Silence in the Newsroom
At the start of the Institute, students were warned, half jokingly, that there’s no crying in journalism. But during a tribute to Christina-Taylor Green, the 9-year-old killed in the Jan. 8, 2011, shooting in Tucson, emotion took over.
During the Institute, students are working journalists supervised by reporters and editors from The New York Times and The Boston Globe. Opportunities for students include reporting, copy editing, photography, Web production, print and Web design, and video journalism. Institute graduates now work at major news organizations, including The Associated Press, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and The New York Times itself, and dozens of midsize news organizations.
