The U.S. Harness Writers Association Canadian Chapter invites students from university and college journalism, broadcast journalism and related programs to apply for one of two available seats in our student journalism workshop.
Inspired by the Clyde Hirt Media Workshop, which the U.S. Harness Writers Association conducts annually at The Meadowlands, the Canadian workshop is new in 2016. It will run Atlantic Breeders Crown weekend (October 7-9, 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 mkeith71@gmail.com or DM @USHWACanada on Twitter.
