NoCo Convos Podcast

During the fall 2025 semester, the Deliberative Journalism class selected three topics relevant to Fort Collins, and covering each of those topics over the semester. The selected topics were bike safety, the fate of the Hughes Stadium property, and public transportation. Each of the topics had either planned infrastructure projects or policy decisions with a space on the Nov. 2025 ballot related to them. Student reporters covered each topic through their lens – how these issues relate to CSU students, what the impacts could be, and how relevant decisions were made.

Links to the resulting podcasts are below.

About

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 Colorado State University. All content produced by the class will be published here, and distributed via social media channels related to the class.

Deliberative journalism is a developing style of local journalism that focuses on helping a community have the difficult, nuanced conversations they need to have to address their shared problems more productively. Deliberative journalism overall seeks to combine the best practices of traditional journalism with key insights from deliberative practice, while also borrowing from social psychology, argumentation, conflict management, and several other recent journalism innovations, such Solutions Journalism, Collaborative Journalism, and Dialogue Journalism. The goal is to re-invigorate local journalism by providing a critically needed service to communities: facilitating quality public discussion.
