Prof. Justin Catanoso joins students Marlee Rich and Anthony D’Angelo on WUNC’s “The State of Things” to discuss his JOU 270 class’s work on covering the coronavirus pandemic while staying at home. Typically, students in Catanoso’s Introduction to Journalism course are not allowed to interview their friends or family for assignments, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones to get stories. But after in-person classes were canceled, Catanoso altered those guidelines to allow students to “cover the pandemic as they saw it from their homes.” Listen to “The State of Things” and check out four featured stories by Rich, D’Angelo, Gabby Balthazar, and Madison Borsellino here.
