Speaking of advertising on ArtsJournal, an ad for the 2009 NEA Arts Journalism Institute in Classical Music and Opera<\/a> caught my eye:<\/p>\n

Columbia University and the National Endowment for the Arts are
\npleased to announce the 6th annual Arts Journalism Institute in
\nClassical Music and Opera. This 10-day intensive workshop brings
\nwriters and editors from across the country to New York City for a
\ntotal immersion in the world of classical music and opera. The
\ntwenty-four fellows will attend nightly performances, participate in
\nwriting workshops, take short classes in music history, and meet with
\nleaders in the field, from administrators of New York’s primary music
\ninstitutions, to critics and writers at major U.S. publications. The
\nprogram also stresses journalistic skills required of music writers in
\nthe new interactive digital media environment.<\/p>\n

The Institute is designed for American journalists, especially those
\ncovering the arts outside of the top media markets. No specialized
\nmusical knowledge is required. Staff writers, editors, and freelancers
\nare welcome to apply. The Institute will be held at the Columbia
\nUniversity Graduate School of Journalism in New York City from October
\n17-27. It encompasses a rigorous schedule of classroom seminars,
\nmeetings with arts leaders and writing workshops to help the
\nparticipants develop their critical skills and report on the world of
\nclassical music. The application deadline is July 23, 2009. For
\ninquiries, please email: nea_institute@earthlink.net.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Having said that I’m by no means a journalist in the previous entry, I’m going to apply. Why? Because I love school, I want to experience what the other half is being taught, and I think I could offer a…let’s say “unique”…perspective. Wish me luck. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Update, Thursday 5\/14 – I am allowed to apply but have been warned I’m “not a shoe-in” being NYC-based and, oh, you know, a publicist. It’s funny, I never thought I would have to update my resume again. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
