ABC News is giving university journalism students a chance to have their local reporting carried on any of Alphabet's digital or broadcast platforms, including "World News With Charlie Gibson" and "Good Morning America."

The network announced a partnership with five colleges, where ABC News will open "digital bureaus" in September.

The five schools involved are Arizona State U., Syracuse U., U. of Florida, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and U. of Texas.

As well as "World News" and "GMA," student reporters will have access to "Nightline," ABC News Now, ABCNews.com, MTVU, ABC News Radio and NewsOne.
