SHERP students not only get their work published in major media outlets, they also run their own: Scienceline.
Scienceline is a webzine about the world of science, a daily chronicle of news and views on topics ranging from the momentous to the ridiculous. SHERP students don't just write the articles, they also assign and edit them. The webzine is updated frequently, usually every weekday.
Here's how Scienceline's first editor-in-chief, Karen Schrock, described the webzine when it launched in July, 2006:
"We'll bring you original content: breaking news and in-depth features, about everything from local New York phenomena to worldwide issues. Profiles of scientists, environmental investigations, and even movie reviews. Anything that stirs our curiosity! Or yours - got a burning question? Drop us a line! Just click on 'Ask Scienceline' on the homepage and tell us what you want to know. We'll hop to it! Also be sure to visit our blog, where thoughtful rambling and interesting links abound. One thing is guaranteed - if it's on Scienceline, it's worth checking out.
So stay tuned. You'll read about green architecture and urban coyotes. Bikers-turned-worm-farmers and a beach in the Meatpacking District. Tanning and manholes and rainbows, oh my! We promise to make Scienceline the most excellent adventure we possibly can - you'll learn things you never knew you never knew."
In addition to Scienceline, you can see or hear the work of current or former SHERP students in dozens of media outlets, from Scientific American and The New York Times to CNN and National Public Radio.
SHERP students have ample opportunities to generate clips, thanks not only to Scienceline and internships, but also because the program's innovative curriculum emphasizes real reporting assignments from the very start.
