I’ve really enjoyed designing and teaching a data-journalism course for the Communications@SU master’s program. It is part of a three-course Journalism Innovation track within the program. I got to interview rock-star journalists like Ryann Grochowski Jones of ProPublica, Jason Leopold of VICE News and the team behind this amazing piece on deaths in the Texas child welfare system. And the students in the program have been fantastic — adults with families and full plates who still thrive in the program because of their drive to become leaders in the field.
