Students writers for the Alabamian, Montevallo's students newspaper, recently got the opportunity to attend the 2013 College Media Association conference in New York City. Nine students, along with adviser Tiffany Bunt, took a train for 22 hours to get to New York.
Editor Heather Buckner and photographer Jennifer Corona pass the time on a long train ride.
Once there, they attended dozens of sessions, with topics ranging from copyright law to photography. Students were also free to explore the city in the evenings, an opportunity many said they had never had before.

Bunt says the trip gave students an opportunity to network with other student journalists, seek out internships, and better their craft, which in turn will help to improve the Alabamian.
Sophomore Alyse Hartdegen says she found the trip both culturally enriching and educational. She, along with other students, picked up new tricks and information for her career, but was also able to see the sights in New York.
