The Center for Community News at the University of Vermont leads a coordinated effort to strengthen election coverage by involving 145 colleges across 46 states.
With the decline in local newspapers, student journalists fill crucial gaps; eight student newspapers have received funding to serve their communities during the election.
The Elections & Democracy Reporting Initiative provides educational resources and strategies for student reporters, focusing on voter attitudes and election challenges, ensuring comprehensive election coverage.
Meg Little Reilly highlights that 145 faculty members are actively engaging with the initiative’s resources, demonstrating a significant commitment to improving local election reporting.
