Gift to J School will fund interactive newsroom

Posted on October 8, 2009 by Staff

A major experimental student news project and audience research initiative will be funded by a $3.5 million gift from the estate of alumnus Reese Felts to the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

The school will transform one of its classrooms into a 24-hour newsroom, where students will work with faculty to produce and distribute news for a variety of audiences.

This was the largest single gift ever from an individual to the J school, and it also will fund a distinguished professorship in the school.
