Launch of the Stockton University Community Reporting Innovation Lab

3711 Atlantic Avenue,Atlantic City NJ 08401

16 November, 2022

Description

Please join Stockton University School of Arts and Humanities and the Communication Studies Program in launching the Community Reporting Innovation Lab (CRIL). CRIL is designed as a place-based learning environment that will equally value community partners and student learning. Different from any lab currently established at Stockton University, it is a space that includes computers, reporting equipment and meeting areas. These are available for legacy media organizations, community partners and students. Accessible to the staff from The Press of Atlantic City, and additional community storytellers, it is a space capable of hosting a daily editorial meeting as well as a place to pitch stories, work on editing a video or record a podcast. Students will have the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with professional writers. As needed, the lab will transform into a nighttime newsroom where stories are filed on deadline and breaking news is digested and curated for the next edition. Acting as an additional access point for reporting and collaborating with Atlantic City residents, this lab is an exciting space dedicated to innovation and cutting-edge trends in journalism education and community reporting. Please join us in its launch.
