efore risk to not graduate college. In the current educational system and curricula, there is a lack of practical work, in comparison to theoretical elements. The main cause for this situation is that the faculties cannot provide sufficient technical equipment and specialised teaching staff. Greater emphasis should be put in the future on the subjects of ethics, languages, law, investigative journalism etc. Digital media should also play a bigger role in journalistic education. The authors believe that it is important to work on the monitoring of career paths of journalists and on the systematic analysis of the labour market. Media companies should provide a greater number of additional workshops for their employees who are willing to upgrade their knowledge, skills and competences." (Summary)

For Chris Berdik, it was how scientists are mapping Tonle Sap, Cambodia’s largest and most threatened lake, so as to devise a plan that protects both jobs and environment. For Steve Sapienza, it was efforts to deliver clean water to the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the world’s fastest growing cities. For Esha Chhabra, it was the eradication of polio in India, and the lessons from that experience for other public health challenges. Conventional wisdom says stories like this disappear, that in the chaotic din of contemporary journalism they sink without an audience. Our experience with these projects has been the opposite, with placements in outlets that range from The New York Times and The Atlantic to The Daily Beast, Nature, Forbes, and PBS NewsHour."

Gemeinsames Ziel dabei war, die Aufmerksamkeit auf den »Maschinenraum« des Journalismus zu lenken, wo die Formate und Inhalte entstehen, deren Produktion sich durch digitale Werkzeuge grundlegend ändert."
