Knight Center seminar registration form

Dear applicant,

Thank you for your interest in attending a Knight Center for Specialized Journalism seminar.

Filling out this form expressing your interest in applying is the first step in the process. You must also submit the following:

• A resume, including contact information at work
• A statement of up to 500 words giving your reasons for applying.
• A supervisor's strong nominating letter that also agrees to cover salary and travel. Freelancers send a letter of recommendation from an editor you have worked with. Citizen journalists send a letter of recommendation from someone familiar with your work. Recommenders should mail the letter directly or send it from their email account to knight AT umd.edu.
• Three published articles (editors may send samples of edited work, broadcasters send one CD, audiotape or videotape).

If you are e-mailing applications send one copy to knight AT umd.edu. Mailed applications should be sent to:
