It's not too late for you to help solve a real-world challenge faced by one of the country's largest consumer media companies -- Hearst Corporation -- and compete for a trip to New York as part of the 5th annual Reynolds Journalism Institute Student Competition.
You and a team of fellow students from journalism, business and computer science will compete against other student teams at Mizzou to win a free trip to New York City that includes a visit to Hearst headquarters in midtown Manhattan.
Hearst operates 15 newspapers and 29 television stations across the country. The company is also one of the world's largest publishers of monthly magazines, including Good Housekeeping, Esquire, Cosmopolitan and several others you've likely heard of.
We've held our first information session. But next week we're following up with a speed dating session. Start assembling team members now, or just join us at 6 p.m. this Wednesday night to meet other interested students from across the campus to work with.
