Our mentors are from newsrooms including The Boston Globe, VTDigger, The Public’s Radio, the Sun Journal and many others.
Said one recent mentee: “NEFAC Mentors was an invaluable experience. My mentor was readily available to talk through story ideas, provide feedback on pieces and help me think about what is next for my career. As a new journalist in their first job, I’m grateful for the resources this program offered and the time and generosity of my mentor!”
