(Image: iStock/vitranc) 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. The initiative represents a $6.5 million investment each to universities such as Clark Atlanta and Morgan State, and is a part of the parent company’s $100 million commitment to racial injustice and social change made earlier this year in response to the police shootings of unarmed Black civilians.
