At the third annual Detroit River Youth Career Expo last weekend, there was a special program featuring conversations with four notable “river people” from Detroit, who shared with students stories about both their work and their local communities’ relationships—past, present, and future—with the River.
The Story Lab sponsors student internships with nonprofit news organizations, such as Bridge Detroit, Planet Detroit, and Detroit Public Television, to assist thinly stretched staff in the coverage of river-related stories and works with partners to develop new local training opportunities, on campus and in the community, for both student and citizen journalists.
