We publish student reporting from around Connecticut, and our intake relies heavily on what students are working on in their classes. Most often that results in fantastic feature stories, but just once in a while, a rookie reporter will catch some breaking news on their chosen topic.

This question and essays like this aren't in good faith. Also if the Atlantic wants answers about what students are currently doing across the country, why doesn't it devote a special issue of their magazine to the issue and hire students to write the pieces?

A bill to provide funded fellowships for recent #journalism grads has passed out of committee in the CT legislature! If it becomes law we'd be just the fifth state to recognize the importance of journalism in this way. State Rep. Kate Farrar supported the bill.
