This past spring of 2018, journalism students from The New School teamed up with design students from The Rhode Island School of Design. Each team wrote an article that: 1) identified an important ux or ethical challenge in the field of journalism; 2) predicted how the industry will respond to the challenge; and 3) designed one example of a product solution (a website, app, extension, installation, etc.).

The journalism students are from the “Design for Journalists II” class in The New School’s Journalism+Design program. The design students are from the “Editorial Design for Screen” class in RISD’s graphic design program. Dylan Greif (that’s me) is the instructor for both classes.
