WHAT OUR Teachers SAY
“Every single student I’ve spoken with who did the project last year has told me that it was the single most relevant and rewarding thing they have ever done. In the last few weeks, several students asked if they can come in and work with students who will be doing the project this year.”

This book revolutionizes and reinvigorates journalism education at a time when it’s never been more important to untangle the blurring boundaries between information, persuasion, and entertainment.
