==History==
NJC offers scholarships to budding young journalists so that they can attend its 12-week training sessions, where they receive training in the technical skills of journalism, combined with current event discussions, which help their understanding of such topics as education, environmental regulation, taxes, and media law. Interns participate in full-time internships and attend training seminars one day per week.
"Among the media outlets where NJCers have worked are the [[New York Times]], [[Washington Post]], [[USA Today]], and Wall Street Journal; ABC, [[CBS]], [[NBC]], Fox, [[PBS]], [[NPR]], CNN, [[MSNBC]], [[CNBC]] and [[C-SPAN]]; [[Time]], Newsweek, [[New Yorker]], [[Harper's]], Esquire, National Geographic, [[Readers' Digest]], [[Wired]], George, Details, Stuff and [[Forbes]]; [[AP]], [[UPI]], [[Dow Jones]] Newswire, [[Bloomberg]] News Service, [[Copley]] News Service, [[Knight Ridder]] News Service, and hundreds more," the web site states.
According to a guide to right-wing groups on universities, the NJC is accused of being "is a product of the [[American Conservative Union]]." [http://www.qrd.org/qrd/religion/anti/UCP/POLITICS.TXT] Currently, there are no ties between the American Conservative Union and The National Journalism Center, and the National Journalism Center works with all media outlets to train journalists in responsible, accurate reporting.
