Volunteer to be an RTDNA Reporter or Logistics Volunteer at this year's Excellence in Journalism Conference in Fort Lauderdale!
On September 20 - 22, 2012, the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), the largest association of electronic journalists, again joins forces with the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) is hosting Excellence in Journalism 2012.
Our national conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. will be more than a partnership;
it will be a gathering of professional journalists with shared
interest. As a student journalist, we want you to be part of it!
We invite you to apply to be an RTDNA Reporter or volunteer on our logistics team.
Editorial team members are responsible for covering the conference
from start to finish under RTDNA's direction. Their work appears
directly on the RTDNA website, visited by thousands of news professionals each
week. In the past our editorial volunteers have written stories; live
blogged; shot, edited and posted video; taken pictures; 'Facebooked' and
'Tweeted' live events, live streamed sessions from their phones;
conducted interviews; and recorded standups, all in front of influential
news directors and news managers waiting to meet them and take resumes.

Our logistics volunteers work closely with RTDNA's Program and Events Manager
in making sure that everything at the conference, from registration to
AV setup to sessions, goes off without a hitch. Like the editorial
volunteers, logistics volunteers will have time to attend sessions on
their own and meet the hundreds of news managers and professionals who
will be in attendance.
Students who submit their
applications early and meet the application criteria will be given
priority. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. The final
deadline for applications is June 30, 2012. Contact RTDNA's Communications, Marketing and New Media Manager, Ryan Murphy, at ryanm@rtdna.org with any questions.
Both volunteer positions require a fair time commitment and a
responsible attitude. In return for your efforts, RTDNA offers its
volunteers a free session-only conference registration. For more

Please note: you MUST be available for the entirety of the 2012 conference to participate!
