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.

Since launching in July 2006, Scienceline's mix of news, features and blogs, plus videos and audio podcasts, has attracted a worldwide audience in the millions. The site gets more than 75,000 page views per month and has won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the Society of Environmental Journalists. Stories from Scienceline also appear frequently in other publications, including the web sites of Scientific American, Discover and Popular Science.

In addition to publishing in Scienceline, SHERP students also report directly for professional media, including during their . You can see their work in a wide range of outlets, from National Public Radio and CNN to Scientific American and The New York Times.

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.
