The Department's media lab is beginning the semester with new practical sessions in mobile reporting, audio production and visual storytelling. Students will use the lab to develop reporting projects for The Varsity Pilot and Lux FM.

Faculty members say the work is focused on the habits that matter in a modern newsroom: accuracy, accessibility, strong sourcing and a clear understanding of audience needs.
