Think you have what it takes to start publishing right away? Join the PolicyMic political journalism bootcamp, and we'll teach you everything you need to know!
Participants in the bootcamp will learn to write provocatively and persuasively about politics and culture. In short, we will teach everything we know about new media. Past members include college students, graduate students in public policy, and established professionals in the media and government.
As a member of the bootcamp, you will complete a series of challenges over the course of 7 weeks designed to test and train your writing and new media skills. You will compete alongside our other bootcamp members. Along the way, there are prizes to win while our editors give you feedback on your writing. When you're done, you will have a polished portfolio of writing and an audience of readers.
The deadline to apply is this Friday, May 18th.
