Five students and one recent graduate from the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) School of Journalism and Graphic Communication are in Johannesburg this summer reporting on the World Cup and life in South Africa with six students from Shantou University in Guangdong Province, China.

The students will be in South Africa until July 11. FAMU students will produce the English content on the group’s web site, and Shantou students will produce the Chinese content.

Professor Joe Ritchie, Knight Chair for Journalism Student Enhancement, is leading the FAMU students in South Africa. Listen to Ritchie and student journalist Anamarie Shreeves discuss the project on NPR.
