ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to be notified when there’s an opening for a job, internship or fellowship.

ProPublica will once again organize and host the Diversity Mentorship Breakfast at the Online News Association conference in Los Angeles this September. This is the eighth year of the program, which is designed to connect people from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in journalism with people at the top of the field. After two years of virtual events, we’re back to gathering in-person. The breakfast will take place at 8 a.m. PDT on Friday, Sept. 23.

Professional networks are crucial to advancing a journalist’s career. The goal of this event is to help promising journalists build these networks in order to make the industry more inclusive.

Past mentors have included newsroom leaders, startup founders, highly accomplished reporters, producers, designers, editors and more.

We pair mentees with mentors based on their backgrounds, challenges and interests in journalism. Mentees also have an opportunity to network with one another.

We aim to pair mentors with at most two mentees for this event, and are planning to accept about 20 mentees. Our event will kick off with a short group discussion and then will transition to guided networking between mentors and mentees.

Anyone is welcome to apply to be a mentee, and people from underrepresented groups — including people of color, women, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities — are especially encouraged. Applicants must be attending ONA22 and must be available Friday, Sept. 23, from 8 to 9:30 a.m. PDT.

If you’re interested in participating as either a mentor or mentee, apply via this form. The deadline to apply is Monday, Sept. 5. We’ll let you know in mid-September if you’ve been matched with a mentor. We’ll do our best to match each applicant with a mentor, but space is limited.

Past mentors have found the experience easy and rewarding, and they have let us know they appreciate meeting with ambitious journalists in the early and middle stages of their careers and sharing their knowledge with them. We will provide some guidance for beginning and maintaining a relationship with your mentee.
