My Principles of Journalism students were charged to create a podcast that focused on news literacy while critically engaging with journalism’s foundations and the journalism industry. The students created 60 episodes in the first year focused on 12 specialty or alternative presses. The podcast is now expanding to also have interviews with professionals about their work and the role of news literacy within it.
