MPS Board of Directors Candidate Cheryl Hayes | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
Why are you running for school board?
I believe I can address many of the inequities at MPS more effectively as a school board member. After 20 years of teaching for Milwaukee Public Schools I am aware of issues that need to be addressed. I will vote for positive policies that affect the children, staff and families of Milwaukee School District 4. I currently have grandchildren and other family members who attend Milwaukee Public Schools. A love for children, my family and my community makes improvement of Milwaukee Public Schools my self–interest. When the Milwaukee Public School District meets the needs of our children it makes my community better. A stronger school district will empower our youth to succeed in all future endeavors.
I have been a resident of the Milwaukee Inner City since 1970. A former welfare recipient, I am a single parent of five. I have been a Habitat for Humanity Homeowner since 1989. My professional experiences are as an Outreach Home Detention Case manager; Community Organizer; Church based leader with MICAH as a member of Cross Lutheran Church; and extensive service to youth as the co/founder-coordinator of a youth support group for 22 years. I taught at Milwaukee Public Schools from 1998-2020. Prior to teaching I was a community leader and activist. I have developed relationships which will enable me to negotiate and collaborate with those who are willing to aid in creating effective changes in our MPS schools.
There are a number of issues which need to be addressed within the Milwaukee Public School district. There are two issues of importance I would like to see addressed. The first is low academic scores of our students throughout the district. The second is enrollment and attendance. These two issues have become more intense since the Covid-19 Pandemic. Once the schools are opened to in-person learning, students will need additional services to improve academics. The District will need to make available resources for tutoring. I propose after-school programming and weekend tutoring. I also propose summer school at numerous locations to allow students the opportunity to earn extra credit or pass failed course work. There will be a need for smaller classroom sizes to insure social distancing, due to Covid-19.
Enrollment and attendance are key to funding. We need to have more alternative programming for high school students within MPS. An alternative school for students who are parents or MPS contracting with Day Care and Head Start for MPS students. A program by which a student could bring their child would have a positive impact on attendance.
Not all students in the 4th District are college-bound or interested in going to college. MPS currently emphasizes students testing to be college ready. MPS also needs to have programming that encourages students to enter trades and technology fields. Students, based on their interests, need to be prepared for employment that leads to a livable wage career, whether it be via college or trades training.
The district is making efforts to address disproportionate disciplining of Black male students but it is a very slow process. My last years as a teacher at an alternative high school, our professional development sessions emphasized the need for other means to be put in place to replace suspension and expulsion of minority males. A program in collaboration with a community-based organization was implemented at the school to reduce the injustices to students of color. It lasted one year. It showed signs of a positive approach; however, the district did not renew the contract. I want to see the district attempt this approach again with more schools. I would definitely bring the proposal to the district when elected to the school board.
I would also propose that the district contract more Violence Free Zone Teams for schools in the 4th district. I have witnessed the team mediators as very effective in deterring violence among students. They are able to identify and defuse negative situations in a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach. They are a positive replacement for having police in the schools.
Many students of color have been deemed special needs students, especially those with behavioral issues. This begins the pipeline to prison and the district needs to decrease placement of students with special needs. There are far too many students of color in Special Education classrooms. There need to be more inclusive classrooms with co-teaching to reduce the labeling of students as special needs students.
Finally, I would work with organizations, both community and church based, to determine other options which can be effective in eliminating the Pipeline to Prison for our students of color. Prior to teaching I was a community leader and activist. I have continued relationships which will enable me to negotiate with those who are willing to aid and lobby in creating effective changes in our MPS schools.
Yes, I agree.

MPS Board of Directors Candidate Dana Kelley | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
Why are you running for school board?
I am running for MPS Board District 4 because our community of color needs a change in the education presented to them. District 4 is the most marginalized and disproportionate community that lacks resources, revenue and support from policy and lawmakers. Therefore, I plan to ensure a quality education to children of color through Music, Arts and Mental Health Professionals being in all schools for a holistic educational approach. I also want to hold Charter Schools accountable for continued funding through an Accountability Clause that measures each school’s success where they must offer a curriculum that is different from MPS and offers a higher quality of education than MPS. This will ensure that children of color are able to compete with any other child across the nation. I am running because it is time to level the playing field in education and economic stability in the community of color. I plan to combat economic, racial and climate injustice in the community of color by fighting for a Green New Deal for Milwaukee and MPS. This will create living wage Good Green Jobs for the community of color such as HVAC, Plumbing, Horticulture and Solar Panel Installation to name a few. This opens the curriculum for skills and trades in MPS and jobs for families. This also creates a clean and healthy infrastructure for MPS students and teachers, which will cost MPS nothing, but will increase the value, revenue and resources for schools and communities of color. Finally, I am running to bring “Spirit” back to schools. It’s time to rally up the teachers, students, staff and community to bring life and vitality back to MPS. Teachers have lost the spirit of teaching, students have lost the spirit of learning and Directors have lost the spirit of leading, therefore democratization of education is very important at this juncture. We need to know what is needed and how we can provide support, revenue and resources to ensure the best quality education for our children.
I am qualified especially for this seat because I genuinely care about the life and longevity of MPS and it’s students. I am an alumni of MPS and very proud of the educational experience I received through North Division and other Milwaukee Public Schools. I work as a co-op organizer of North Side Rising, for Citizen Action of WI, where we fight for political, economic, and racial and climate equity and justice. I stood up against WE Energies and the PSC this past summer and was successful in getting the Utilities Moratorium extended throughout WI. I have sat on numerous Boards including the Citizen Action Education Fund, and currently as the first vice president of Church Women United-MKE. I am also the assistant pastor of The Reviving Faith Movement Church where we assemble online since the pandemic. I am a leader that loves to serve. I am the voice for the voiceless and hope for the hopeless. I am not afraid to stand alone or with the group as long as it leads to freedom and equality for all.
The most important issues facing the board and District 4 in particular is equality. Privatization plays a big role in that. Therefore, we must work and fight against parasitic privatization which sucks the life out of MPS. We lack support, revenue and resources. There are misallocations and misappropriations of funding and support for teachers, parents and students. We must follow the money and rectify the problem of lack in our district. We must also work to encourage parents to bring their children back to MPS. We have to strengthen our curriculum and support for the district, staff, students and parents alike. This is where democratization of education would be most helpful. Let’s stop doing what we ‘think’ is needed and provide what we ‘know’ is needed for families and schools. The only way to know and to grow is to bridge relationship gaps.
Being the mother of two sons, I definitely do not agree with the disproportionate disciplining of Black male students. I fought hard to keep my sons from being labeled and caught up in the system. But many parents are not as fortunate as I have been in advocating for their child’s educational and criminal justice. The School to Prison Pipeline is very real in communities of color and continually perpetuated due to lack of social development funding in our community. We are rewarded with more police instead of resources for rehabilitation, moral and social development and just plain fun. Our suburban communities do not have this same problem of lack for their youth and this is why the grass looks greener on the other side. Any grass that is not watered will wither and die.
Once elected I will advocate, fight and shout for less policing and more social programs like ROTC, Music, Arts, Mental Health Professionals, Student Clubs and even a Student Union for MPS.
No, I do not agree with MPS’ decision to keep most students virtual until April because I believe April is too soon to return to In-person learning. Therefore, I would not decide to bring students back at all this school year. Yes, it has been challenging for all stakeholders, but our children and our community will be at risk with reopening MPS too soon and without an adequate public health and safety plan.
Children are affected by COVID and carriers of COVID. They live with family members that are elderly and that have compromised immune systems. This poses a public health risk and will affect the community of color at a more disproportionate rate than any other community. I want to keep our children safe and our community safe.

I am a progressive, multilingual, millennial immigrant who is deeply committed to social justice. I have spent my career advocating, lobbying and fighting for public school students, educators, families and schools. I have a personal history,  and deeply held belief in social justice and experience in Milwaukee Public Schools.
My platform focuses on what matters — putting the health and safety of our children, families and educators first in this pandemic; fighting for full funding for students with special needs and English language learners; committing to anti-racist and culturally relevant teaching; protecting public education from privatization; creating a culture of shared decision making; and building inclusion for women and gender-nonconforming students.
I have proven experience working with our educators, students, families and community partners. My experience includes serving as the community schools coordinator at Bradley Tech High School, working in youth employment, and most recently helping grow MPS STEM programs in K-8s and high schools. I have successfully advocated for progressive policies and investments in every space I’ve worked in.
My lived experience as an immigrant and woman of color brings an intersectional perspective that can be helpful in finding collaborative solutions that represent our diverse student body.
The current most pressing issue that MPS faces is the COVID-19 crisis and what happens once all of our educators are vaccinated and back in the building. To be clear, schools should not re-open until community spread is controlled and vaccines are widely available. Ensuring the health and safety of our students, families, teachers and staff means we will need to provide sanitization products and personal protective equipment. Generations of underfunding for our schools have meant that MPS is dealing with old ventilation systems, lack of appropriate space for distancing and shortages in key staffing areas to support our students. We need to focus our budgets to put resources into protecting the education workers that will be with our children when they return. This includes supporting additional staffing for school social workers, school psychologists, school nurses, paraprofessionals and other staff to assist our teachers and students who have lived through a remarkable, but also traumatic time in history.
Thanks to pressure from student organizations, community groups and MPS educators, as well as significant push from current school board members, the district has put important policies in place in the last year. This includes requiring the MPS administration to give monthly updates on progress in fulfilling the goals set forth by the OCR, the increase in restorative practice and ethnic studies staff in the current year’s budget, continued promotion of the restorative practices professional development, the expansion of community schools, and the school board’s recent directive to require mandatory anti-racist professional development for all staff. As a board member I will remain vigilant to ensure that these positive developments continue and deepen. In particular, I will promote the expansion of community schools, which address the multiplicity of issues that impact the disproportionate disciplining of Black male students. I look forward to working with students, parents, community members and educators including the MTEA and PAMPS [Psychologists’ Association in the Milwaukee Public Schools] to end disproportionate discipline of not only Black male students but of all students of color, male and female.
I believe that we should keep all instruction virtual until our educators are vaccinated. We can start talking about reopening schools once we have community control of the virus and widely available vaccinations, as well as strict social distancing measures that reflect CDC guidelines and updated ventilation systems ensuring the health and safety of our children, educators and staff.

Do you realize that one out of five students can read the newspaper for comprehension? Only one out of seven students can pass the math portion of a college entrance exam or trades test. What I want is for our students to come out of MPS with a chance at earning a life-sustainable wage. We currently have over 17,300 opportunity youth — youth between the ages of 16-24 that are not in school and/or not working. This is unacceptable.
I am not a politician. I am an MPS graduate, MPS Parent of four, former MPS teacher and a mother. I am determined to fight for an equitable education for all our students, especially our Black and Brown students. Uniting the voices of students, parents and teachers so that everyone is heard, and collaborating is my mission. Learn more at Blueprint4Change.com.
As an MPS parent, educator and community advocate, I am a unique representation of over half of MPS’ student demographic. Three of my children attend MPS. I have a teacher’s lens. A certified reading specialist, I decipher data and determine a student’s equitable course of action. I see the connection required for K-16 education and the trades. I am a businesswoman and I serve on MATC’s District Board, which makes me familiar with proposals, budgets, projections and community expectations.
As a parent I understand the struggles of students not being heard and looked down upon as if they have nothing to offer. I see firsthand the struggles of my children and their friends during their school year. I have felt what [it] is like to not be welcomed in a school. I know what it feels like to be talked down to from teachers and administration. I know I am not the only parent with these issues. So, I want to be your voice until you can tell your story with your voices.
As a former educator, I see the need for additional resources in the classroom. I know what it is like to be told to stay on curriculum when the majority cannot even read or comprehend that curriculum. I know what it is like to spend more time than is accounted for in our pay to make sure our students’ needs are met. I know what it is like to listen to heartbreaking stories from our students regarding home life, work and hopelessness, and feel helpless. I know what it is like to teach a class of 30+ students that has computer-based lessons with 8 working computers. I know what it is like to be in a classroom with 36 children, 18 with special needs and little to no assistance. I know what it is like to make sure you have breakfast, snacks and hygiene kits for students so that they can learn. I know what it is like to work at the same base pay for years.
There are two important issues facing the board. The most spoken about is the COVID-19 pandemic. The second is the ongoing failure to close the achievement gap. For many years our public-school system has been failing our children, specifically Black and Hispanic children, which is over 78% of the student populations. There have been many excuses made as to why our children have been seen but not heard. Parents that had the means have moved to other districts for better educational options, leaving those without options in the district or choosing nonpublic options.
Understanding that it is not easy to pivot a large district, we can take several steps. Take best practices from all schools that are closing the student achievement gap. Establish what equitable changes can occur on the class level. Establish education plans for each student. Use the data from STAR to know where students require the most support. Look at what occurs in nearby schools and districts with the similar demographics and what their intervention consists of.
On a school and classroom level, establish individualized education plans for each student. This may take a bit of work on the front end, but it will be an equitable solution for the 80% of MPS students struggling with reading and the 85% struggling with math. Use the data from the CBA (classroom-based assessments) like STAR to discern where exactly that student requires the most support. Students receive the STAR test fall, winter and spring. Students can be separated into three categories: on target/proficient; on the bubble/basic meaning they can go either way; or significantly below grade level. This can be the basis for the 30-minute intervention plan groups per the MPS academic plan.
Other districts have classroom parents as well as paraprofessionals. Why not establish a parent who serves as the liaison between students, parents, and teachers? The classroom parent or community member can enlist help from other members of the community to work with small groups on reading and math skills on specific days. Parents can assist with word parts, prefixes and suffixes, sight works, chunking of words, basic math facts, story problem comprehension, grouping and factoring. The sky’s the limit. Community intervention will free up the teacher and provide them resources necessary to be successful. The district equitable solution is all hands on deck.
As a board, MPS should spend more time on academic progress. This helps with establishing policy and curriculum guidelines. Each board meeting, a district could create a summary of progress made toward equity and inclusion in relation to closing the achievement gap. Or, one to two schools from each district can discuss their progress. That would be eight to 16 schools reporting per meeting. Either way we need to hear about the progress. We are in the business of educating children.
My recommendations for MPS to improve student achievement and close the identified achievement gap is simply to involve the community, students and parents in executing the equitable plan. They have the resources that are needed to motivate the student. Students are resilient and will overcome most obstacles, provided an equitable chance. The community is filled with volunteers, artists, subject matter experts; even the chambers of commerce are just waiting for the ask.
Absolutely not. The report is proof that these offenses occurred but there are no direct steps that have been taken. We need a board, a superintendent and administrators that commit publicly to equity and inclusion. There needs to be acknowledgement that systematic racism exists and contributes to the school-to-prison pipeline and to disproportionately suspending Black males. Also, special education students are not receiving their proper interventions. Create a specific plan of action for the district to follow. By embracing racial equity, in policy, practice and procedure in MPS, it’ll be the first step to the equity for students.
Second, create strategic community partnerships. These partnerships can be the district’s equity and inclusion advisory committee. If CBOs are already doing the work, allow them to assist with implementation and strategies. While MPS has some of the smartest people in the city, we all need a fresh look at the situation.
Third, we need to examine a department dedicated only to equity and inclusion. They must have the department head be extremely knowledgeable about equity and inclusion. The equity and inclusion department will build upon the “guidebook” presented to the board in April. This department should ascertain specific language that details the inequities faced by students, parents, and teachers.
Fourth, we should look at the data and determine what is working and [what] has not been working. District data is used to predict future student outcomes. We need the data to show the whole picture of why students are failing, not just the surface data. The data derived should be looked at and analyzed for what intervention is required for various outcomes. This data will allow MPS to make the most informed decisions on policy and future curriculum.
If one looks at the district makeup, 78% of the population is Black and Hispanic. In the past 15 years there has been a steady decline of teachers of color. The racial makeup of MPS teachers: white, 70%; 16% Black; 9% Hispanic; and 2% Asian. In addition to hiring more Black and Brown teachers, we need more bilingual teachers. We need a plan that thoroughly examines the hiring and retention of Black and Brown teachers. I recommend equity and bias training for educators. We cannot rely upon surface data. We need to dig deeper.
Fifth, we need to take the previous grant work off the shelf and commit to using it with sustainable practices. The district needs to formally adopt an equity and inclusion policy that aligns with the student achievement of Black, Brown, [English Language Learners], and special education students. The overall strategy needs to align with MPS hiring and budgeting practices aligning with instruction. An equity lens should be used to analyze student outcomes, professional development, and a financial allocation review.
The current MPS Board and administration have tools, data and research at their disposal. I would not make a recommendation without seeing their data. What I will say is that my daughter who attends an MPS charter is back to in-person school. The parents were provided a choice of in-school or virtual. The virtual space was limited. There was a plan. Their plan is expressly and continuously relayed to the parents and students. The plan includes drop-off and pickup for students as well as entrance and exit plans. While I understand that this is on a much smaller scale, perhaps we can utilize some best practices in the MPS phase in plan.

MPS Board of Directors Candidate Victor Nwagbaraocha: | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
Why are you running for school board?
I want to make Milwaukee Public Schools’ a tier one educational destination for our students and families. I believe that our educational system can do better for our  children and families. I want to be part of an educational body that strives to
I am a retired special education teacher and administrator with over 30 years of experience in the Racine Unified and Milwaukee Public School Districts. As a first generation immigrant, my parents and community installed in me the belief in being a life-long learner, and a servant leader in my community. I have worked and engaged in the Urban Educational framework in the classroom, on the playground, in the community and political areas through my work as a parent, union representative, and community advocate.
I have committed my life to education, developing youth, and building a stronger Milwaukee community. In 2000, I founded Positive Images, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering Milwaukee’s teenagers to reach their full potential and become tomorrow’s leaders. Running for the school board District 4 seat allows me an opportunity to engage the citizens of my community in the educational process, create youth advocacy, and help our future citizens envision future possibilities.
I want to work towards
The most important issues facing the board and District Four:
I would advocate for transparency as district moves forward towards
No, I do not agree with Milwaukee Public Schools’ decision to keep most students in all virtual instruction until April.
Due to the logistical concerns facing the current delivery service we provide our students I would recommend the following.
As a parent, educator and administrator, I know how painful this pandemic has been for families. We are witnessing our most vulnerable students suffer from the current uncompromising remote learning regimen. Students with special needs, English language learners, and economically disadvantaged students are falling behind. Many students are dealing with pandemic induced trauma. For these reasons, we need a pragmatic, professional science-informed response to reopening.
As we move through this era of COVID, we need to offer parents and families the option to send their children to school in person. With that in mind I would support the following plan/guidelines
o Daily school reports the first month of in-person instruction mandate
o Weekly school reports after the first month if in-person is working
o Monthly school reports after the first two months have been successful
o On school assignments
o Building health conditions
o Who and where they should report issues and concerns
o Access to report regarding concerns or issues

How News414 works | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
What is service journalism?
Service journalism involves identifying a community’s information needs, building trust with residents and holding power to account for failings and inequities. We keep residents first, asking them what information they need, and delivering it in the most accessible way. We want to give Milwaukee residents the information they need to navigate existing systems and to create change in their neighborhoods.
How does News414 work?
We send free, personalized data via SMS texting, standard text messaging, to Milwaukee residents. The text snapshot below shows what an early interaction between News414 and a resident looks like from our end. If you want to try it yourself, text the word MILWAUKEE to 73224. Message and data rates may apply. As a subscriber, you may receive up to four messages a month, or more depending on the information you share or request. Reply HELP for help or STOP to cancel at any time. Privacy and Terms can be found here.
After this chatbot-driven interaction, we invite each of our users and news consumers to talk directly with a journalist. For instance, news consumers might ask questions about housing, food or jobs, and we report out the answers for them. These conversations also drive our deeper-dive accountability and investigative work published by NNS, Wisconsin Watch and other news outlets.
Is anyone else doing journalism like this?
Yes! News414 is adapted from a model pioneered by News414 partner Outlier Media, which reaches roughly 500-750 Detroiters each week with vital information about housing, utilities and COVID-19. More than 30% of respondents ask for a follow up with a reporter. Outlier’s individual engagement with Detroiters has helped hundreds navigate or avoid eviction, foreclosure or utility shutoffs. Its broader accountability journalism has sparked changes to policies and practices surrounding rental inspections in Detroit and county tax foreclosure auctions.
Who is funding this project?
News414 was launched with $234,000 in support from the Google News Initiative Innovation Challenge. The newsrooms are investing $110,000 of their own resources.

NewsMatch starts NOW! Double your investment today. | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
Since 2011, Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service has prioritized transparency and integrity in its reporting. We exist to cover stories that are important to the people who live, work and serve in Milwaukee neighborhoods—and we put accountability at the forefront.
This is the type of journalism that cannot wait. Because if we don’t tell these stories, who will?
That’s why we’re excited to share an opportunity to double your donation this year. We have once again been selected to participate in NewsMatch, a national matching-gift campaign that drives donations to nonprofit newsrooms (like us!) around the country. Last year alone, NewsMatch helped raise more than $7.6 million for 154 news organizations in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
Here’s how it works.
Starting now — through December 31 — NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12x or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000.
We can earn up to $20,000 in matching dollars, which means Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service can raise $40,000 in total. For a nonprofit like us, this is a big deal and will help us deliver the kind of innovative journalism you’ve come to expect, every day.
This news can’t wait. So why would you?
Give today and NewsMatch will double the impact of your donation.
Yes, I can’t wait to give!

NNS Neighborhoods A-Z | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
The Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service covers 17 Milwaukee communities, each filled with fascinating people, places and organizations. This summer, NNS is exploring and sharing our neighborhoods, one letter at a time, from the Agape Community Center to Zeidler Union Square.
Each weekday, for 26 days, we will be rolling out a photograph that highlights a point of interest in one of our neighborhoods. It may be a well known visual icon, a grassroots organization, a community pillar, or hidden gem. All photographs were done by NNS photographer Sue Vliet.
And we want you and your neighborhood to join in the exploration! For each letter of the alphabet, you can share a name from your neighborhood or path through the city on our Facebook page and our partner Urban Milwaukee’s Facebook page. We will be collecting responses throughout the 26 days to incorporate in a special project.
We’re excited to share this alphabetical adventure with you!

The Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service won three awards for excellence in journalism at the annual Milwaukee Press Club Gridiron dinner Friday, May 15, including a gold award for “Best Local News or Feature Website.”
Edgar Mendez won a silver award for his article headlined “Black men bear the brunt of unequal enforcement of marijuana laws.” At a time when four states have decriminalized marijuana and others are considering it, Mendez reported that minority males in particular suffer harsh consequences from strict, often uneven enforcement of existing laws.
Brendan O’Brien and Sue Vliet won a bronze award for O’Brien’s 14-part series on Poverty in Milwaukee. The series, photographed by Vliet, looked at how poor people in Milwaukee live and work, the support programs available to them and what experts say could be done now to alleviate poverty. O’Brien scoured street corners, alleys, convenience stores and other Milwaukee locations looking for the faces and voices of city poverty five decades after President Lyndon Johnson declared a War on Poverty.
Former ABC News White House correspondent Ann Compton was presented with the press club’s 2015 Sacred Cat award. The award, which has been given annually since 1973, recognizes excellence in journalism at the national level.
Ricardo Diaz, United Community Center executive director, and Linda Mellowes, community volunteer and fundraiser, were presented with Headliner awards, given to those who make a positive impact in Milwaukee.

NNS wins grant to create Milwaukee Poverty Database | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
The Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (NNS), in partnership with Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University, has won a $35,000 micro-grant to create a Milwaukee Poverty Database. It is one of 11 projects from 13 U.S. universities to win grants intended to seed collaborative news experiments in their communities, the Online News Association (ONA) announced.
The NNS project will test whether creating a searchable, sortable database related to poverty issues can stimulate reporting and community action that would drive progress and ultimately improve lives in Milwaukee’s central city. The data will be accessed through NNS and be available to the public on any device capable of Internet access.
“This grant will allow NNS to create a single source for local poverty data that will be valuable for journalists, nonprofit organizations, researchers and students,” said Sharon McGowan, editor-in-chief of NNS, an objective, professional source of reporting on central city neighborhoods in Milwaukee. “The database will make it easy to track changes year to year on key metrics, creating the ability to measure progress or the lack of progress,” McGowan added.
Members of the team submitting the grant include McGowan; Tony Shields, executive director, United Neighborhood Centers of Milwaukee; and Matt Richardson, CEO/Visioneer, SmartWave Consulting and founder of the Milwaukee Data Initiative. Diederich College of Communication team members included Lori Bergen, dean; John Pauly, chair of the Department of Journalism and Media Studies; and James Brust, director of the Wakerly Media Lab for Innovation & Creativity.
The competitive Challenge Fund for Innovation in Journalism Education was created in 2014 to encourage journalism programs to experiment with new ways of providing news and information. This year’s winning projects cover issues ranging from poverty to juvenile justice, and food truck lines to logging.
The fund was created by a collaborative that includes the Excellence and Ethics in Journalism Foundation, the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund and the Rita Allen Foundation, and is managed by ONA, the world’s largest membership group of digital journalists.
The 53 entries competing for $385,000 for the 2015-16 academic year were judged on their ability to create collaborative, student-produced local news coverage, bridge the professor-professional gap, use innovative techniques and technologies and learn from digital-age news experiments. Winning teams included some combination of students, researchers, media professionals, educators, developers and designers.
“This year’s winners were finely focused on partnerships and impact, using creative but realistic tools and ideas that will move local journalism forward in their communities, “ said Irving Washington, ONA Deputy Director, who administered the selection process.
