Amherst Wire Goes Global
"If you have any doubts about the power of UMass Amherst students when they hook up with the web, this should alleviate them," writes BJ Roche (journalism). "Jackie Hai ’09, editor of Amherst Wire [a student-run project of the journalism department at UMass Amherst, dedicated to covering national and global issues from a local perspective] was talking with her mom on the phone over the weekend of September 26 about the economic crisis, and mom suggested she do a story. The team went to work, calling several economics professors, then interviewing and videotaping them. Steve Fox (journalism) advised, and around noon on September 30, I sent the link to an old pal at the Boston Globe who is now head of new media. He called back within minutes after I sent the link and said, 'This is great, can we link to it?' By 2:00 p.m. UMass Amherst journalism students went global. We should all be proud!"
