SAJA is delighted to once again have a team of student bloggers covering its annual convention via text, photos and video. This is a great chance for everyone to learn about what happens at the convention right here, or at SAJAforum.org/convention and for some students to get some experience and coaching from veteran journalists.

This time a talented group of journalism students and recent graduates will keep you posted on what our terrific line-up of speakers from Jeff Jarvis to Dr. Reza Aslan have to say. For your minute-by-minute feed on what you are missing, go to www.sajaforum.org/convention.
