We found this video to be fascinating piece of history:'the vision for delivering a richer news experience using tablets.'It only took 20 years for these things to finally come to life with the Kindle and iPad. Would be cool to watch it on an iPad.

 

News21 student wins RFK Journalism Award

April 28, 2010, 8:32 a.m., Posted by Knight Foundation – 0 Comments

Congratulations to David Kempa, a Carnegie-Knight News21 reporter from Arizona State University who won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in the college print category.

Kempa's story 'Crossing Lines,' illustrates one man's goal to help impoverished Mexican farmers.

This is the second consecutive year a student at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism wins the award.

The RFK Journalism Awards program honors outstanding reporting on issues that mattered to Robert F. Kennedy, such as human rights, social justice and the power of individual action in the United States and around the world.

Kempa was part of a team of Cronkite students who participated last summer in News21, a national journalism education initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation.
