The National Association of Black Journalists aka NABJ has teamed up with ESPN to provide a golden opportunity for aspiring sports journalist across the globe.
This internship will be created to honor the late great Stuart Scott, who broke barriers and added an unique coolness to the sports broadcasting world.
Interested students will apply for the internship, which will include pay and housing, via the NABJ Sports Task Force, which promotes diversity in America’s sports departments and provides programming toward developing the next wave of America’s sports journalists. Candidates will be submitted to ESPN from the NABJ Sports Task Force.
With me being a NABJ member myself, this is something I advise everyone with a passion for talking sports to apply for.
“The internship is a fitting tribute to extraordinary legacy of our beloved friend Stuart Scott,” said Rob King, ESPN senior vice president, SportsCenter and News. “It’s also a natural and necessary next step in the relationship of ESPN and the NABJ, because we’re always on the lookout for talented individuals who can contribute to and be a part of our future.”
The NABJ is holding their annual convention this week in Minneapolis.
