Go WILD with Sports Journalism Day

We are excited to bring back our spring Journalism Day at the Minnesota Wild! We have been working with our connections with the Minnesota Wild to bring our journalists a fun and engaging event coming up on April 15: Minnesota vs. Ducks.

The purpose of the event is to provide our students with exposure to different communications careers within the sports industry, as well as provide students real-life experience of covering a sporting event.

Here’s an overview of the experience: 

4:30 Facilities tour (including the press box)

5:00 Q & A with Wild staff (not players)

5:45 Dinner at Cossetta’s (this fee is NOT covered in the ticket price)

7:00 Students can watch and shoot a game 

Post game: Students will write an article or submit photos of the experience. Professionals will judge the submissions and award a winner. The Wild organization will provide a prize to the student journalist who wins the writing contest and the photography contest.

APPLICATIONS FOR 2025 ARE CLOSED. Limit 2 students per school.
