Journalism students published in ‘The News-Gazette’
Several journalism students wrote investigative pieces that were recently featured in The News-Gazette.
Students in JOUR 315: Advanced Public Affairs Reporting and JOUR 483: Investigative Reporting classes, taught in Fall 2023 by Professor Brant Houston, Knight Chair Professor in Investigative and Enterprise Reporting, had work originally published in CU-CitizenAccess, an online newsroom devoted to community and watchdog reporting. Houston also teaches a Spring 2024 section of JOUR 400: Newsroom Experience that focuses on CU-CitizenAccess.
