MCMA Photojournalism and the Harrisburg Devastation
January 31, 2013
"The students of the Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Journalism gained great experience and served their community by documenting the devastation of a tornado that killed eight and tore apart the town of Harrisburg in February of 2012. Not only did they cover the aftermath as the news broke, they transmitted for daily media coverage and produced a book that raised approximately $17,000 for rebuilding efforts."
This is a very powerful take by the NPPA on the efforts of the students and faculty in Photojournalism to help out residents during the tornado devastation in Harrisburg, February of 2012. They did an amazing job and we are proud of our students and faculty for a great job done!
