Top journalism schools partner with ABC

Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is one of five schools that will host an ABC News multimedia bureau next September.
The company is launching ABC News on Campus, a partnership with top journalism schools across the country to educate and mentor talented college students.
From the bureaus, students will report on local stories and produce content for
ABC News’ various digital and broadcast platforms, including “Good Morning America,” “World News with Charles Gibson,” “Nightline,” “ABC News NOW,” ABCNEWS.com, mtvU, ABC News Radio and NewsOne.
Other school selected are Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications, the University of North Carolina’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the College of Communication at the University of Texas.
“These college digital bureaus will extend the newsgathering reach of ABC News throughout the country,” said ABC News President David Westin. “In addition, they will enable us to nurture bright young journalism students, giving them hands-on training from some of the most seasoned news professionals in the business and opportunities to see their work appear on ABC News platforms.”
