Students and faculty of the School of Communication and Media at Montclair State traveled to Puerto Rico over Spring Break to document Hurricane Maria aid and recovery efforts.
“The idea originated with Krystal Acosta and Steve McCarthy,” said assistant professor in multiplatform journalism Tom Franklin, who attended the trip. “David Sanders and I got involved because we have experience working as a team traveling abroad. Everyone here at Montclair State felt Puerto Rico [in the wake of Hurricane Maria] was an important subject to explore. Not only as a means of good storytelling, but also has a way to connect to some of the students’ family roots in Puerto Rico.”
