As part of the 2013 Local Reporting Initiative, I worked with journalists and neighborhood news organizations to get their work heard on WBEZ. I identified these projects with the help of Thom Clark of Public Narrative (formerly the Community Media Workshop) and WBEZ Editor Cate Cahan. I traveled more than a thousand miles working on this project, acting as a producer, reporter, editor, and photographer.
