ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — University of New Mexico will use a $35,000 grant to help student journalists get their work published and read throughout the state.
The Daily Lobo reports (http://goo.gl/QkVW7O) the school's Communication and Journalism Department recently received the Online News Association grant and has used it to build an online news portal called New Mexico News Port.
Michael Marcotte, a visiting associate professor, says the portal will serve as a platform where students can experiment with the new tools of journalism.
