The News Enterprise

The News Enterprise A student reporting initiative of the Emory College Journalism Program. If appropriate, and at students’ discretion, some stories proceed to publication.

The News Enterprise is a student reporting initiative of the Emory College Journalism Program. Students in the Program’s investigative reporting course study advanced reporting techniques and receive practical, hands-on training in the practice of in-depth, public-interest journalism. Under the guidance of faculty, students learn to use documents, databases and interviews to produce thoroughly rep

orted, contextualized stories on significant local, regional and national issues. The goal is to teach students advanced reporting skills they can use to produce high-quality accountability journalism in such areas as government, business, education, health and the environment. When possible, The News Enterprise develops projects in cooperation with outside media outlets. In other cases, students’ reporting may serve as background for stories written and produced by our media partners. All News Enterprise projects are strictly non-partisan. We make every effort to ensure that projects meet the highest standards of fairness and accuracy. To guide its practices, The News Enterprise embraces the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists.
