Meet SRL's 2020 Academy Fellows
During the spring and summer of 2020, Student Reporting Labs (SRL) fellows will virtually work in teams to cover stories about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on various communities. Fellows will receive equipment and other resources to produce pieces remotely and from the safety of their homes. SRL’s Youth Media Producers and other team members will support fellows each week by providing coaching and mentorship through every step of the production process.
