Nevada turns blue
November 5, 2008
This photo of student Johnell Cropper, as she reflected on the enormous challenges facing the next president of the U.S., was taken by journalism student Heather Horn during an election celebration of the Black Student Organization on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.
Heather was part of a team of students and faculty from the Reynolds School of Journalism who turned a computer lab into an impromptu working newsroom for election night 2008.
A makeshift live audio show materialized in one corner of the newsroom, while faculty edited stories and kept an eye on the T.V. beaming through a computer projector in another corner. Four video teams checked out election parties and individual reporters scattered across campus and city to report on the historic election. This web site displays the products of an energetic evening of reporting, producing and publishing.
Now, the day after, a new assignment begins. We will continue to experiment with our journalism in response to the many challenges in our profession. We appreciate hearing your feedback and suggestions: journalism@unr.edu.
