Journalism Students Create Original Media Content

Connersville Utilities has an on-site solar field that powers most of the wastewater treatment facility’s needs

In Muncie, an ecoREHAB property sits on South Elm Street in December 2021. Executive Director Jason Haney said construction management staff and volunteers use an evaluation system that scores different features of abandoned houses to determine whether the houses are salvageable and economically viable to rehabilitate

In Fall 2021, students in Adam Kuban's Feature Writing course (Journalism 311) generated original media content to raise awareness of organizations in Muncie and East Central Indiana that prioritize sustainability in their operations. 

In all, 11 stories were generated. Each Sustainability Story includes a feature story, a list of key takeaways, and photographs with captions. More stories will be produced in future iterations of the course, including stories more broadly distributed across Indiana.
