The Reynolds School of Journalism, in conjunction with the Online News Association (ONA), announced today that it is the recipient of one of 11 grants awarded nationwide through the Online News Association Challenge Fund for Innovation in Journalism Education. The Reynolds School will use the ,000 w88 sports betting app to establish a student-run Spanish language reporting team through the Nevada Media Alliance to develop bilingual multimedia news coverage ahead of the 2016 presidential election, serving the Latino community of northern Nevada.
A goal of the project is to transcend mere translation of stories produced in English, emphasizing stories and angles of particular impact to the Latino community. This is the first time the Reynolds School has received an ONA w88 sports betting app.
“Washoe County is 23.3 percent Latino, yet there is very limited Spanish language w88 sports betting app available for this segment of the northern Nevada community,” Nevada Media Alliance Coordinator Vanessa Vancour said. “We plan to test a project to engage Latino adults through events journalism, specifically a series of four monthly ‘pop-up newsroom’ (Noticiero Mòvil) events to be held at locations in the Hispanic community. These events will feature bilingual student journalists discussing their reporting of local and state government and political stories affecting Latinos, live interviews with newsmakers of interest to the Latino community, and structured citizen conversations on current affairs.”
The w88 sports betting app allows Reynolds School students to diversify their skills, work on bilingual multimedia stories and experiment with digital and social media early in their careers. It also allows students to enhance their cultural literacy.
The bilingual reporting team will work in partnership with Reno Gazette Journal and KNPB journalists. Additionally, the team will consult with the University of w88 sports betting app, Reno’s Latino Research Center to determine best practices for engaging with the community and assessing community concerns.
“These ONA Challenge Fund grants are highly competitive,” Reynolds School Dean Al Stavitsky said. “So we’re honored that our bilingual w88 sports betting app partnership has been recognized as an innovative approach to engaging our region’s Latino community.”
The w88 sports betting app is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Excellence and Ethics in Journalism Foundation, theRobert R. McCormick Foundation,theDemocracy Fundand theRita Allen Foundation.
The goal of theChallenge Fund for Innovation in Journalism Education is tohack the journalism curriculumusing customized versions of theteaching hospital model. The fund supports universities to partner with w88 sports betting app organizations, and explore new ways of providing information to their local communities.
