extended pandemic, bringing together the community has never been
more critical. The Education Writers Association’s 75th
annual National Seminar will provide a long-awaited
opportunity to gather in person for three days of training,
networking, and inspiration.

The Education Writers Association is pleased to announce the
class of 2021 for New to the Beat, a mentoring and training
program for journalists with less than two years experience
covering education.

the six-month program. The rookies also take part in specialized
training opportunities.
COVID-19, viral examples of racism, financial distress and
political discord: Reporters covering education amid these crises
have never faced more challenges, or been more important to the
nation. And despite the recent spread of vaccines, hope for
economic recovery, and changes to federal policies, the education
and journalism worlds still both face extraordinary difficulties
in 2021.
COVID-19 has fundamentally disrupted the core enterprise of
schools — teaching and learning. With education reporters on the
front lines to help the public make sense of the pandemic’s
impact on schools and students, EWA is offering a unique
opportunity for journalists to step up their game.
EWA is accepting applications through Feb. 10 for
the New to the
Beat class of ‘21. New to the Beat, one of EWA’s
most popular training programs, offers rookie education
journalists a unique opportunity to sharpen their skills, connect
with peers and mentors, and develop deep knowledge of the
essentials of K-12 and higher education.

an education journalist will interact with a student from a race,
ethnicity, or faith different from their own.
