The Canadian chapter of the U.S. Harness Writers Association is inviting students from university and college journalism, broadcast journalism and related programs to apply for one of two available seats in its student journalism workshop.
Inspired by the Clyde Hirt Media Workshop, which the U.S. Harness Writers Association conducts annually at the Meadowlands Racetrack, the Canadian workshop is new in 2016. It will run Atlantic Breeders Crown weekend (October 8-9, 2016) at Red Shores Charlottetown, P.E.I., with opportunities for participating students to learn about harness racing and its media coverage while writing articles for publication.
Students must provide their own transportation and accommodations (information can be provided if required). Deadline for applications is September 23, 2016.
To apply, please contact Melissa Keith, Canadian chapter president, at [email protected] or DM @USHWACanada on Twitter.
