The University Station Alliance, partnering with The Center for Community News at the University of Vermont and Current: News for Public Media, present this webinar on covering the 2024 elections with student reporters.
Election 2024 is an incredible opportunity for college students and public media stations to work together. How can student-led journalism reach new audiences and approach political coverage in a fresh way? We’ll learn what’s happening across the U.S. from America Amplified, and on the ground in one mid-sized Midwestern community.
