Today, on World Press Freedom Day, The Media School is proud to recognize our student journalists. The @idsnews and @IUSTV have been covering the continuing protests at Dunn Meadow, upholding the highest standards for journalistic dedication and integrity. bit.ly/3UJP1gR

This semester, I analyzed Monroe County car crash data to make an interactive map of car crashes from 2003 to 2022 for @idsnews. I talked to city officials and transportation advocates to learn how severe crashes are addressed. 🧵
