The WORD, an experiment always experimenting, signs up to join UWIRE:
“Founded in 1994, UWIRE is a community-driven service devoted to the needs of student journalists. Our aim is to identify and promote the brightest young content creators and deliver their work to a larger audience.
“Our recently re-launched UWIRE.com is the only career networking community dedicated exclusively to aspiring media talent. It offers young journalists a place to establish themselves professionally, post a resume, interact with other like-minded content creators, and show off their portfolio.
“Similarly, our 14-year-old Student Media Affiliate Program allows 800+ student media outlets to share content and facilitates inter-school collaboration. This entirely student powered wire service generates more than 500 stories a day, including first rate news, opinion, sports, and entertainment coverage.
“The best content from our site and service is distributed via UWIRE’s Syndication Service, the leading source for student-generated media. Distribution partners include the most reputable names in the professional media world, such as the New York Times, Billboard, Yahoo, Lexis Nexis and parent company CBS.” Â
