Welcome to the Hub website for the Northern Colorado Deliberative Journalism Project, administered by the students and faculty in the JTC 420 Deliberative Journalism class at CSU.

The goal of the Deliberative Journalism Project is to develop story ideas that focus on issues that directly affect members of the Fort Collins and CSU communities. Working closely with community members, students will develop story ideas that shed light on relevant community issues and bring voice to unheard populations in the Fort Collins and CSU communities.
