Abstract:

Students in Land and Food Systems (LFS) are passionate about the environment, urban farming, sustainability, and food. As applied scientists, its crucial they learn communication and media skills. In conjunction with the UBC School of Journalism, LFS students were taught how to find and tell stories about their discipline. Students crafted stories, interviewed experts, and produced podcasts using their disciplinary content and a journalistic framework. After honing their skills by creating "streeter" and "voicer" podcasts, students produced a biased story (advocacy) and an unbiased story (citizen journalism) about issues that mattered to them.
