The Nevada Sagebrush

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.”
