    This is one in a series of special MinnPost projects done in coordination with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota. For the fall 2008 semester, a news team of eight students reported, wrote and edited the projects, which combine news stories with archive pages, through various traditional and multimedia journalism tools. The program is designed to immerse students in the ever-changing world of online journalism, while adding dimensions to the content delivered at MinnPost.com.
