@haileymensik1 @MillmanEthan @dereknhall Hailey, Ethan wrote his first place story while interning at the Los Angeles Times. Derek's stories were from his internship at the Seattle Times. Can't wait to see your stories from the LA Times this summer. (No pressure.)

Excellent podcast -- part of News21's Hate in America package.

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

We finished this project today. Take a look!

[News21 @news21]

Our eight-month investigation into hate in America is now online.

Twelve stories. A five-part podcast. A 43-minute documentary. An interactive map documenting a 7,000-mile road trip across 23 states — all to understand a nation divided: https://t.co/P4qAcJ0FT0

@SRuhle @MSNBC @KatyTurNBC I replayed this 10 times. This needs to be an MSNBC promo. The first wave.

Thank you! It was a great conversation. #edshift

A8: We are also seeing more students pitching SJ stories in advanced reporting classes. 2/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A8: All the stories have an impact because I can see students fine-tune their critical thinking while doing these stories. 1/2 #edshift

Giselle:Think of a pizza-- that is your big idea. But to find a story, look for a small slice of the pie. Narrow your idea. Help? #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A7: If no strong firsthand evidence, students look for secondary evidence. Was effort modeled on another program elsewhere? 2/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A7: We have our ASU focus on local efforts. Sometimes local groups don't have their own evidence of effectiveness. 1/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

Q6: I also tell students great photos, videos will help them get stories published. The human element best told in video. 2/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

Q6: We require a multimedia element with SJ stories. The "how-to" part of the story cries out for a graphic. 1/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A5: Doing SJ stories helps reporting students learn to organize other complicated stories. To think more deeply. #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

At Cronkite, the first lecture on the SJ final enterprise story is in Week 4 of 15. Then we talk about it all semester. #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A4: Challenge: It is difficult to juggle it with other stories they are doing during the semester. But they learn to juggle. 2/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A4: Benefit: Students going through Cronkite get a taste of SJ stories. It gives the a reporting advantage. 1/2 #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A3: The SJ story is a final enterprise story so they work on it throughout the semester, and get lost of feedback along the way. #edshift

[maureen west @MaureenCWest]

A3: First, students write a story based on the problem that will be addressed in the SJ story. They must understand the problem. #edshift
