Summer 2010 Edition
The rise in Columbia's population to more than 100,000 residents prompted the Missouri Urban Journalism Workshop to focus on growth: its challenges, its advantages and what is in store for the future.
At the Missouri Urban Journalism Workshop, high school students from around the country work together with the guidance of professional journalists to produce stories, photos and broadcasts. MUJW is sponsored by the Dow Jones News Fund and takes place at the University of Missouri.
