The Harwood Institute recently announced a new partnership with the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas, one of the Top-10 journalism schools in the nation. This initiative will harvest the knowledge and experience the Institute developed through its long-term, ground-breaking work with the news media on journalism values, in transforming some of the largest newsrooms in the country, and in spreading its approach to scores of others newsrooms, all in an effort to reconnect the news media with the communities they cover.

The partnership will develop tools that will be used to teach the next generation of journalists in journalism classrooms, as well as provide more possibilities for community coverage to working journalists. Together, The Harwood Institute and KU will produce an online community-coverage handbook, create a Web site to disseminate new materials, and develop curriculum for journalism educators.
