Great news! The Hogan-Newton Fund at the Miami Foundation has announced its first #journalism grant of $5,000 to Bay City News Foundation to turbocharge Bay City News Service's internship program. BCN, which for 40 years has provided around-the-clock news coverage to most of the San Francisco Bay Area’s news outlets, routinely hires young journalists eager to get reporting and writing experience. Under new ownership by Katherine Ann Rowlands, BCN is expanding its education...al mission by developing a more formal program for its paid interns. The $5,000 grant provides funds for mentoring as well as travel, research and other money to help interns do substantive journalistic projects that will set their portfolios apart. Here at the Bay City News Foundation, we're hoping to match the Hogan-Newton Fund grant to further improve and expand BCN's program.
