Under the guidance of professional journalists, students post dispatches and stories about local government and its impact on Orange County residents while learning the theory and practice of journalism in our virtual classrooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOur goal is to have student journalists working in a teaching hospital environment where they\u2019re able to, in real time, see how their reporting impacts the community around them and fuels change,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/voiceofoc.org\/staff-contact-us\/#norbertosantana\">Norberto Santana, publisher and editor-in-chief of the<\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Voice of OC.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The partnership between Wilkinson and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Voice of OC<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> gives student journalists \u2013 the foot soldiers of democracy \u2013 reporting credentials and portfolios with strong writing samples to share for future internships and jobs.
