Journalism Without Walls

An international REPORTING program

This year's destination was Berlin. Over a two-week reporting trip from May 23–June 6, 2026, students worked on joint and individual projects.

The students spent the spring semester identifying stories, researching, and cultivating sources for their reporting. Travel and accommodation expenses were provided by the Journalism Without Walls program.
