WEINER PUBLIC NEWS

Weiner Public News is a newspaper commentary column group that recruits young journalists including from colleges all over the country as bylined co-authors and writers. We have written more than 1000 op-eds that have appeared in major media outlets. Funding is derived from payments by the papers, a nonprofit foundation (Solutions for Change) supporting the young journalists' mission, and contributions to the foundation from generous people and including Bob's own. It is a unique and successful Washington, DC program for young journalists creating bylined, published articles. Bob won the National Press Club President's Award in 2016 for this program recruiting and mentoring young journalists as bylined co-authors of published opeds in major papers, and with the help of many wonderful people, it continues to thrive and expand.
