News Brief: Video, blog Web site looks for contributors

Students can enter to become the 2009 Mother Nature Network (MNN) correspondent for the University of Nevada, Reno until Jan. 30.

Contestants can audition by sending a two to four minute video to www.youtube.com/mnn, or a 500-word blog to tinyurl.com/67mdfk.

One student from every major university will be chosen to contribute a video program or blog at MNN.

Their reporting will be broadcast to a nationwide audience. Winners receive a “Flip Ultra” video camcorder.

The top five correspondents will be chosen to participate in an exclusive, all-expenses-paid summit to share their ideas with the top names in environmental studies.

“We’re like a green CNN,” said Hope Dlugozima, an MNN representative. “(Contributors) are from USA Today, CNN and other big companies, so we have a good background.”
