      A mortgage broker. A public school teacher. A retired elevator company employee. It's not likely that anyone would consider individuals in these jobs to be prospective journalists. Nevertheless, officials with the Freedom Forum's Diversity Institute last summer found three such individuals and several others, and trained them in an unique program designed to bring more underrepresented minorities into the newspaper journalism field. Prior to participating in the program, Diversity Institute fellows have no formal journalism training, and for three months, fully funded by the Freedom Forum, they leave their spouses, children and other loved ones behind for 12 weeks to master the journalism skills they'll need to excel. This document describes the program.
