On this episode of Sword and Pen, we bring back MVJ president and co-founder Russell Midori to promote the MVJ 2023 Convention in New York City in October.

We also chat with MVJ Mentorship Program manager Simone Doroski and mentorship alumni Jordan Sartor-Francis about a powerful program that pairs our members with journalism experts in the field.

Listen as the guests >

• talk about the what's happening at the convention this year ... and there's a lot!
• tout the skills mentees learn from their mentors, and how it's landed them jobs and internships
• explain how to sign up to the mentorship program and the convention

We also added a new feature to the Sword and Pen that highlights stories in the MVJ Newsletter, and stay for the end of the podcast because we go back into time and listen to memorable quotes from some of our esteemed past guests.
