CAPSTONE: MULTIMEDIA PROJECTS
S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications
Students design and script an interactive storytelling project that includes photos, videos, sound, text, graphics, and database information, which then will be prepped for publication intended for mobile device.
The 61% Project is a special-interest, digital publication that explores the mental health crisis on college campuses.
In 2017, the American College Health Association reported that three in five students admitted to experiencing overwhelming anxiety at least once within the last year and according to research conducted by the World Health Organization, one in five college students experienced one or more diagnosable mental disorders worldwide.
Our mission is to examine the impact of the crisis on our generation as it navigates other cultural forces, including climate change, the digital revolution of social media, the 2008 financial crash and its impact on their parents, the college debt crisis, Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo era, fake news, the polarization of politics, and a pandemic.
These frictions, challenges, and cultural forces all exist in the campuses of colleges and universities.
Our class worked together, as a diverse group of journalists from our target demographic, to write, report, film, photograph, illustrated, and market stories on both mental illness and mental health care. This project seeks to illuminate those issues and the students engaged with them as they work to overcome these challenges.
The 61% Project is the work of students in MND 504 Multimedia Projects, a capstone course at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
