Upstate Local Journalism Center

this is at http://wxxi.org/about/jobs/UNYLJC.html

WXXI (Rochester), along with WNED (Buffalo), WRVO (Oswego/Syracuse),
WSKG (Binghamton) and WMHT (Albany) are partnering to create Upstate
New York's Local Journalism Center. Together they will hire a total
of five additional reporters, one at each station. WXXI will also hire an editor and a
managing facilitator.

The Upstate Local Journalism Center will focus on "The Innovation
Trail." The Center's extensive multi-media reporting will help the
public gain a better understanding of the impact of investment in
research and technology projects across the region, the ways that
colleges, universities and medical centers are working to create
opportunities in emerging technologies, and other industry efforts to
transition from a manufacturing base to a knowledge economy. Working
across the region, this initiative will allow reporters to move
beyond traditional media to provide in-depth coverage with a
high-degree of community engagement and involvement.

This is a grant driven, two-year project with the possibility of continued sustainability.
