Innovative funding model to aid global news reporting
A documentary on the global traffic in e-waste produced by students at the UBC Graduate School of Journalism aired on Frontline/World’s season finale on June 23.
Ghana: Digital Dumping Ground investigates the growing problems caused by the global trade in electronic waste.
Among the headline-grabbing findings, the students bought hard drive in Ghana which contained sensitive US Homeland data about military contracts.
The work was produced as part of an new course in International Reporting run by my colleague, Peter Klein.
But it was only possible due to an innovative funding approach that combines social entrepreneurship, journalism education and professional partnerships.
