KZSC’s solution is to build news studios in neighborhoods traditionally overlooked, or mischaracterized, by our local mainstream news outlets. We teach a free 10-week course in journalism, using inexpensive consumer-grade electronics and free and open source software to gather pro-quality news and neighborhood stories. Then we turn the team loose to operate the bureau and to recruit and teach the next group coming up. This is a winning proposal with local funders/foundations who see a need for local news, community-building, and civic engagement. 5 6 Presentations/Workshops
