Here at the New York Times Student Journalism Institute, in Tucson, Ariz., we’re learning to embrace our inner cowpoke.
Well, we’re not really cowpokes (except for maybe our director, Iowa Don). But we are somewhat sleep-deprived journalists, deep in the slog of editing our copy. Just to have some fun, here’s us at the Institute, taking off our hats to you, dear readers.

During the Institute, students are working journalists supervised by reporters and editors from The New York Times and The Boston Globe. Opportunities for students include reporting, copy editing, photography, Web production, print and Web design, and video journalism. Institute graduates now work at major news organizations, including The Associated Press, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and The New York Times itself, and dozens of midsize news organizations.
