After a break for lunch in the food court on the Samford campus, APSE will hold a reverse panel workshop starting at 1 p.m. with student journalists and early-career journalists at the front of the room to relate their experiences, ambitions and hopes and to answer questions from sports editors and reporters about where/how they get their news, what they know (and want to know) about our profession and what opportunities they see to reach younger audiences.
The meeting will end with a resume review for student journalists (as well as others looking for career opportunities).
