**Update: Check out this great write-up of the conference from a writer of a Campus Progress sponsored publication who attended the conference.

This past Saturday, Campus Progress and The Nation hosted its first West Coast Youth Journalism Conference at UCLA.  It was a smashing success with around 300 participants from around California, Arizona, Texas, and other states.  We had amazing speakers, small group workshops, and a keynote address by Naomi Klein.  Check out the full agenda here, and check back soon for photos from the conference and videos of the plenary panels and the keynote speech.  I was heartened to feel so much energy throughout the day from an outstanding group of young progressive journalists.  A huge thank you to all of our speakers and presenters. If you want to get more involved with journalism at Campus Progress, we provide funding, training, and other forms of assistance to student publications.  You can also write and blog for CampusProgress.org. Whatever great work you're doing, let us know how Campus Progress can help.
