The South Florida Times, a weekly newspaper, has announced a project that will form a collaboration with students from Florida International University’s journalism school. The goal is to improve coverage in Miami’s “Liberty City” neighborhood, an often tough section of town. According to EditorsWeblog:
“The project, Liberty City Link, will see students illuminate “family businesses and community leaders,” as well as “examinations into how failing schools can be improved, after-school programs that keep young people off the streets and mentoring groups that pair people from older generations with youth and events at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center” reports South Florida Times’ Juliana Accioly.”
The project will have its own online section, and reporting from it will appear in the paper.
