Newhouse Students Cover 2024 Presidential Nominating Conventions

About two dozen Newhouse students covered both the Republican and Democratic presidential nominating conventions this summer. Led by Joel Kaplan, associate dean of graduate programs, the students gained invaluable experience and built up their resumes through their robust coverage for professional media outlets which included writing stories, creating packages, conducting interviews and more.

CBS News Chicago featured Kaplan and the students in a news story as they prepared for and met about their convention coverage.
