About the Project: 

I began this project in hopes of raising the issue of media illiteracy to journalists. However, the more I investigated and talked with different people, the more I began to uncover the root cause for this dilemma. That is, the decline in access to local journalism and the influx of disinterest in local journalism by the general public. Through the course of this project I was able to learn from various people across different sectors of the industry to hear more about what these issues look like and where they are coming from. In doing so I have gained a new understanding of how this industry functions similar to a living organism, it must be sustained in order to stay alive and prosper. And the people who must sustain the media architecture we desire is journalists and the general public. I wish to continue this investigation and maintain my attention on this growing problem while also enlisting others to help stop the spread.

Join me in the fight against media illiteracy and in doing so, help make our newsrooms and communities live in tandem once again. 

I hope you enjoy, 
Aubree Wood.
