News21, a program of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation, has been changing the way journalism is taught at the nation’s top journalism schools. The program has expanded to include paid summer fellowships for top journalism students nationally. At BEA 2014 we’ll break down the student experience and the multiplatform commercial success of the 2013 project, “Back Home: The Enduring Battles Facing Post 9/11 Veterans.” (http://backhome.news21.com/ ) We’ll also look at how top journalism schools and students can get involved in future projects.
