The World at Large Reportership Program
When you’re here, you’re not a scholar, you’re not an intern: you’re a reporter
Learn the job: jump the que
Don’t wait until you finish school to find out that editors want published writers with experience—who are going to give them real stories, not headaches.
Get a foot in the door; an unfair advantage
While others will be frittering their time and money away in a journalism college learning to report the news in a way that made Americans lose faith in it, you can enter the job market with real references, a burgeoning CV, and the knowledge and confidence to take initiative to do the job at the highest level.
Work with real reporters, real editors, and real sources
WaL program participants will get to work alongside editors with more than 40 years combined experience reporting US and world news, reaching millions of readers.
Participants will learn all the necessary skills to report the news, including proper sourcing and integrity, how to write so that readers keep reading, how to source and credit photographs, how to conduct interviews, press relations, and more.
All for the cost of a week in college
Everyone knows that college is expensive: job training doesn’t have to be, especially when readers want the news for free and journals struggle to find funding and revenue sources.
What did our first applicants work on?
Shortly after joining WaL, California’s Bezawit Cain covered the US Space Force’s first-ever “orbital warfare” drills, and the removal of an ancient Libyan city, enshrined as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from the organization’s list of sites in danger.
“In comparison with past training exercise, Resolute Space 2025 is claimed to allows Guardians to experience both virtual and real-life simulations to enhance their readiness…” Cain wrote.
What did our first applicants work on?
Julien Torres immediately deployed his knowledge of the profession to good effect at WaL, covering the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the destruction of the Christian communities there, as well as collaborated with the senior editor to cover UNESCO’s latest World Heritage Site list inscriptions.
Having already published for The Bronx Journal and The Lehman Meridian, Torres is now expanding his portfolio to include international coverage, and learning about the ethics and responsibilities that come with that.
