The Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism’s project, “Bay Area Communities at the Crossroads,” captures the changing nature of four California communities with interactive tools and a working prototype of a national database for reporters to share hard-to-find data about cities.
Explore with resident from three Northern California towns as they struggle to define community in an increasingly suburbanized landscape. This short introductory video blends old techniques (stop motion animation) with the digital platform. Other elements in the package include an interactive map illustrating how these three towns have grown and changed over the last century, and a series of maps where residents describe the places where they find their community.
This project focuses on four neighborhoods, visualizing demographic data of ridership and aggregating content and news about each area. Includes interactive charts and graphs, slide shows and custom feeds that combine up-to-the-minute Google blogs, Google News, Twitter and Yelp posts specific to each station.
The nation's leading journalism schools come together in this unique program to experiment with new forms of in-depth and investigative reporting.
Fellows travel the country to report on critical issues facing our changing nation and then find innovative ways to tell those stories.
