The five-month program at New York City's Harvey Milk High School will be geared towards improving skills at writing and developing editorial content, with the regular oversight of GLAAD's media experts. Students will also be given the opportunity to submit their articles for editorial critique and placement consideration in the New York Blade, reaching 100,000 readers weekly.

"GLAAD is proud to partner with The Hetrick-Martin Institute (operators of the school) and The New York Blade," said GLAAD Asian-Pacific Islander Media Strategist Andy Marra, "to make this investment into the next generation of student journalists."

"Young people are on today's forefront in creating and changing media," she continues, "and we want to ensure a solid foundation in skills necessary for their stories to inform and impact culture."
