COMMUNITY JOURNALISM

The Community Journalism Practicum is where students target and cover an under-represented community on campus and organize that coverage on a website called AccessU. Each class is a student-run newsroom and creates its own AccessU site.

The class, which has run since 2017, has covered the communities of disability, recovery, rurality, nontraditional enrollees, Black identities, mental health diagnoses and LGBTQ+ students. This year, the class is covering first generation students. 

These are the AccessU sites produced in Jour 4175 each spring.
