ABC Forms Diversity Program for Aspiring Journos

ABC News is launching a Fellowship program to attract and develop aspiring journalists from diverse backgrounds for a “rigorous” and “rewarding” year-long opportunity.   Starting this July, future news leaders will rotate through several ABC News departments and broadcasts while mastering editorial, production, and newsgathering skills.  Participants from a variety of racial, ethnic, socio-economic and geographic backgrounds will work closely with an experienced ABC News mentor.
