JRN 300: Examples of Final Projects

Per your request, here are some examples of final projects from past classes of mine. The topics are trend and issue stories like the ones you are doing, but generally these were the best, most ambitious topics likeliest to have the most interest and audience reach.

One big difference between a weekly story and a final project is the depth of reporting. Please note these stories have no fewer than six people quoted and/or paraphrased, along with lots of data and multiple neutral experts. 

Really, a final project is just a weekly story on steroids. An ambitious topic; lots and lots of reporting; and a deep dive into the subject matter.
