This past weekend, the Reese News Lab hosted its first Journalism School Hackathon with PBS Media Shift. Representing 10 journalism schools from across the country, more than 60 students, faculty, and professionals joined together to come up with innovative business solutions for local media outlets. Students were given two days to research and create prototypes and pitches for one of three prompts: WRAL - How might we increase awareness of outside influence on local elections? McClatchy - How might we use high school sports to create tighter bonds within a community? Raleigh Public Record - How can we provide greater transparency into local government planning decisions and actions? To see the results of our successful Hackathon weekend, check out the pitches on our YouTube channel. Many thanks to Innovate@UNC and Knight-Mozilla OpenNews.
