Thanks to all who attended UConn Journalism's first Local News Job & Internship Fair on March 26, 2022. The fourth floor of Oak Hall was buzzing with students, faculty, alumni and recruiters from 14 local news organizations: The Connecticut Mirror, CTNewsJunkie, CTExaminer, Hearst Connecticut, Journal Inquirer, The Day, Republican-American, Connecticut Health Investigative Team, Patch, Turley Publications, Willimantic Chronicle, NBC Connecticut, FOX61 and WFSB News. We hope to make this an annual Spring semester event.
