Latinitas Magazine is seeking female high-school students, ages 14 to 18, interested in journalism to contribute to the teen version of www.LatinitasMagazine.org. Latinitas will host an orientation for junior reporters on May 23rd at 1:30 to 3:30pm at Armijo Public Library located at 620 E. 7th Avenue. Latinitas is dedicated to creating greater Latina representation in the media by training the next generation of Latina media makers. Through our junior reporter program, young journalists are published in our webzine. Latinitas college editorial interns and professional journalists mentor and guide Latina high-school journalists in developing story ideas, conducting interviews, researching stories, writing articles, and editing content. Furthermore, junior reporters act as an editorial advisory group helping to advise Latinitas staff in making editorial decisions on the content for each issue and the direction of the magazine. This is a great opportunity for aspiring journalists to be published in a growing magazine and have their voice heard! We are looking for fresh ideas on all content related to Latina youth culture appropriate for high-school students. Latinitas is currently accepting applications from female high-school students who seek hands-on journalism experience. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Alicia Rascon at alicia@latinitasmagazine.org, www.LatinitasMagazine.com or (915) 219.8554
