“(The) Florida Student News Watch has not only strengthened my skills as a journalist but also connected me with working professionals, sharpened my reporting abilities, and deepened my understanding of the field. I highly recommend applying if you’re an aspiring journalist who’s passionate about storytelling and the human side of the news!”

Working as a mentor with the News Watch gives me the opportunity to meet, work with and learn from enthusiastic up-and-coming journalists with a passion for environmental reporting. Noodling through the reporting and writing process with this young talent offers a refreshing perspective that helps me become a better reporter. It's so rewarding to see the final products, and I love working with them!

The News Watch has been transformative for my development as a student and journalist. The program's mentorship from environmental journalists opened doors to opportunities I wouldn't have found otherwise, while the support allowed me to focus on my craft. Without the connections and experiences from FSNW, I'd be far behind where I am today.
