What We'll Do
Come join ONA St. Louis on Saturday, Feb 15, as we host a workshop at Saint Louis University on landing a job and making it in the journalism industry. While this event is focused on providing resources for students, all who are interested in learning more about careers in journalism are welcome to attend.

This month's presenters include Stephanie Zeilenga, a St. Louis-based freelance writer and editor, Matt Sorrell, a St. Louis-based freelance writer, and Cara Anthony, Midwest correspondent for Kaiser Health News.
