The Agora Journalism Center has named UO School of Journalism and Communication instructors Todd Milbourn and Lisa Heyamoto its 2017-18 Agora Faculty Innovation Fellows. The husband-and-wife team will receive $25,000 for a project exploring what drives and disrupts trust in communities across the nation, and what journalists can learn from those insights.
Many of the UO School of Journalism and Communication's faculty members, graduate students and alumni are on their way to San Diego, California, this week for the 67th Annual International Communication Association Conference.
Journalism students at the University of Oregon will soon have the opportunity to learn how to bring together two storytelling methods to shed light and spark action: investigative reporting and solutions journalism.
