NBCUniversal is doing its part to help out historically Black colleges and universities. The entertainment and media company announced that it will be partnering with a number of educational institutions to launch the NBCU Academy.
The new program will offer training and development workshops for students plus a chance to work alongside established journalists from NBC News, and it will fund journalism scholarships.
