Burlington Vermont from October 2-4, 2025

This fall, the Center for Community News is hosting an in-person convening of the faculty and journalists who lead student reporting programs across the country. This will be the first ever deep dive into the impact and potential of university-led reporting. It's an opportunity to learn from your peers, share your hard-earned wisdom, and for all of us to identify best practices in a challenging journalism environment. 

This event will be held at the University of Vermont in Burlington, home of CCN. There's no cost to attend. 

Full schedule will be available soon.
