NewsTrain kicked off its 10th anniversary year with a great first event in Springfield, Ill. In all, 90 journalists and students attended the workshops.
Freedom Sings performed at a 10th anniversary event at the Old State Capitol State Historic Site. Among the guests were Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln. See photos from this event by clicking here.
Announced during that reception and performance was a NewsTrain Ambassador campaign for 2013.
The campaign hopes to reach NewsTrain alumni and supporters across the United States and Canada.
NewsTrain is still going strong, and this is the year that we hope people can give back.
Can you support NewsTrain with a $100 or more donation? If so you'll become a NewsTrain ambassador and you'll be recognized online, in the APME News magazine and at the APME conference in Indianapolis in October.
If not $100, can you give a smaller donation to NewsTrain? All donations are tax deductible and will go toward keeping NewsTrain strong for many more years.
Help us help NewsTrain.
