GLAAD and gay high school form alliance to foster next generation of LGBT journalists

[PageOneQ]

This is great. I used to work at the Harvey Milk School....this kind of partnership is great to see.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has teamed up with a high school for LGBT students in an educational partnership to prepare them for careers in communications and journalism.

The five-month program at New York City's Harvey Milk High School will be geared toward improving skills at writing and developing editorial content, with the regular oversight of GLAAD's media experts. Students will also be given the opportunity to submit their articles for editorial critique and placement consideration in the New York Blade, reaching 100,000 readers weekly.

2. Wonderful!

I have read so many good things about that school and saw something on TV about it. It really gave me hope. This is so important and will help to move things along, hopefully sooner than we think it might be.
