The Missouri Information Corps is a pop-up newsroom covering underserved communities and topics across the state.
Sponsored by the Missouri School of Journalism and the Missouri Press Association, journalism students and graduates are working this summer to cover climate change in Missouri and its impact on the state’s infrastructure, economy, agriculture, environment and business ecosystem. All of the work produced through this project will be available for use by any Missouri news outlet.
