Students at the School of Journalism’s created a powerful project as part of the Media Innovation and Data Communication Program. The three-part series on restorative justice is created by a Media Innovation Studio Class. The project was previously housed at The Boston Globe, aimed at a national audience but now lives on The Emancipator’s site which is a “reimagining of the first abolitionist newspaper in the United States with a focus on explaining and identifying solutions to structural racism” Student interviewed defendants, victims, families and court officials inside a program that allowed selected defedants to avoid jail time if they participated in training, drug and mental health care and reckoning with the people that were harmed by their actions.
