The Marshall Project is cohosting a session for journalism educators and advisers to discuss how to share criminal justice datasets and reporting resources with student journalists, so they can hit the ground running on topics such as:
- Conditions in jails and prisons
- Political opinions of incarcerated people
- Correctional officer shortages
- Book bans behind bars
This event is brought to you in partnership with the Student Press Law Center and the Center for Community News at the University of Vermont.
David Eads, Marshall Project data editor, and Nicole Lewis, Marshall Project engagement editor, will walk us through several tools they’ve built for local journalists. Please take a look at these resources ahead of the session, and tell us how to make them as useful as possible for your students during the spring semester and beyond.
If you have any questions ahead of this event, feel free to email Michelle Billman at investigatethis@themarshallproject.org. We appreciate the essential work you’re doing to train the next generation of journalists!
