Hello everyone! It was wonderful to be able to see so many returning and new faces yesterday at our first meeting! I hope you all enjoyed the pizza and games!
Just to quickly recap about yesterday’s meeting for those that were unable to attend, we covered about what UTHJ is, what we are, what we do, and what opportunities we have to offer for you!
UTHJ aims to organize and provide mutual support for students studying journalism.
We encourage the study and practice of journalism by presenting networking opportunities through broadcast, print and multimedia outlets.
We try to further employment and career opportunities for not only Hispanic students, but all aspiring student journalists.
We encourage students to participate in community and campus events that can further your journalism portfolio.
We meet every week on Tuesday’s, but not every week is a meeting. We also do tours, socials, host guest speakers, and hold workshops. In the past we have toured NotiHispano, Univision, the Longhorn Network, and among other places.
We also covered current places that are looking for interns! The Daily Texan is still hiring but you have to hurry up and apply for tryouts because they end tomorrow! You can get more information through http://www.dailytexanonline.com/employment. A good alternative to the Daily Texan is the Horn. The Horn is paid, unlike the Daily Texan. They are currently hiring in all areas. You can find out more job opportunities through this link: http://www.readthehorn.com/Jobs.
If you have any questions or want to know about other possible internships, feel free to contact us through e-mail at uthispanicjournalists@gmail.com. We are also on Facebook, Twitter, and now Instagram!
I hope you guys have a great day and I hope to see you next week, Tuesday, at our first social which will be at Campus Candy!
