Claremont School News

“The Nation Fund for Independent Journalism held its annual conference for student journalists May 30 in New York City. As one of Claremont’s many aspiring student journalists — and, luckily, a lifelong Brooklynite — I had the pleasure of attending. 

The Nation Magazine, first published in 1865 in the United States and founded by abolitionists, promotes independent journalism as an essential tool in cultivating equity and democracy. Over the last half century, the magazine has also empowered the youngest generations of journalists to enter the industry confidently with the establishment of The Nation Fund. The conference featured speakers from a wide range of independent publications, including The Guardian, Jacobin, THE CITY and Teen Vogue. Illustration/courtesy of Liberties EU
