If you\u2019re a Student Newsroom alum headed to ONA15 in Los Angeles, hit us up ahead of time. We\u2019re planning a get-together for beer, catching up and to help us think through how best to connect all of the great \u201cgraduates\u201d in the future. Feel free to contact me at kevin.loker@pressinstitute.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the 20 young journalists from around the world settle into the <\/span>ONA15 Student Newsroom<\/b><\/a> later this month, they\u2019ll be starting on an incredible journey to learn, practice and network. A few days, bylines and karaoke-filled nights later, they\u2019ll join the ranks of the 200 hand-picked students who have covered 12 conferences since 2003, many of them now doing some amazing work in digital media.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have strong evidence to back that up. With ONA\u2019s blessing, I dug a bit into the alumni and crunched some data to get a snapshot of who they are and where they are now. The result is like a mini-road map of career development in digital journalism. <\/span><\/p>\n

Full disclosure:<\/strong> I was one of these alum (Class of 2010, represent). If you are, as well, you are most likely included in our research, which involved a look at your LinkedIn profile and data compiled from information publicly accessible online. (Most everyone was easy to find, many on a few platforms; some were not.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a tip-of-the-iceberg look at “where they are now\u201d:<\/span>
