How do you tell a story that gets people to care about an issue?
How can words and images be used to inspire people to take action to help others?
How can new media be used as a tool for civic participation and social action?
These are some of the questions journalists consider every day. And they do so during a time in history when there is an unprecedented surge of new digital tools for mass communication available to them. New media creates opportunities and challenges for journalists and this website helps students explore these questions and issues by examining the film, Reporter.
