Morgan Hundley Keller, an Oak Mountain High School student, has been selected to represent Birmingham as a National Youth Correspondent to the 2015 Washington Journalism and Media Conference at George Mason University.
Keller will join a select group of students from all over the country for an intensive study of journalism and media. She was chosen based on academic accomplishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism and media studies.
National Youth Correspondents participate in hands-on, experiential learning through decision-making simulations that challenge them to solve problems and explore the creative, practical and ethical tensions in journalism. Well-known leaders in the media community will contribute to the experiential portion of the program.
Presenters include prominent journalists, CEOs of major media outlets, researchers and recent college graduates who successfully entered the field. Last year’s conference included NBC’s Hoda Kotb, C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb, The Washington Post’s Carol Guzy and Fox News’ Peter Doocy.
The Washington Journalism and Media Conference will be held July 12-July 17.
