“IN MANY WAYS, THE HEART OF JOURNALISM INNOVATION IS EMERGING FROM MERCER UNIVERSITY.”

— THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER, “LOCAL NEWS IN A DIGITAL AGE”

THE CENTER FOR COLLABORATIVE JOURNALISM (CCJ) is a unique partnership between Mercer University, The Telegraph, Georgia Public Broadcasting, 13WMAZ and WMUB with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and The Peyton Anderson Foundation. Our groundbreaking collaboration has students, faculty and veteran journalists working together across newsrooms. Learning in a “teaching hospital” model, our students engage the community using the latest digital tools and leave with a portfolio of published work that gives them an edge in a rapidly changing, but never more important, field. Learn more about the CCJ and events like our Media Changemaker Scholarship Competition (Jan. 25, 2020) and Digital Media Summer Camp (June 13-20, 2020) at ccj.mercer.edu.
