Introducing the 2024 HBCU Digital Media Fellows
ONA is excited to announce the 2024 cohort of the HBCU Digital Media Fellowship. Six students—selected from a highly competitive pool of over 100 applicants representing more than 15 Historically Black Colleges and Universities—will travel to Atlanta for training and mentorship during the 2024 Online News Association Conference (ONA24), Sept. 18-21.
The fellows will work with lead mentor Michael Grant, founder of Get Current Studio, to create a digital project during the conference and learn about emerging tech for online news. They will also have opportunities to network with the leading innovators in journalism and tech while in Atlanta, and receive a complimentary one-year membership to ONA to stay connected with the community beyond ONA24.
