U of I Journalism Students Develop Interactive Website Devoted to Campus Crime

Story air date: Friday, December 17, 2010

U of I Journalism Professor Eric Meyer, Graduate Student Matthew Shroyer, and Senior Emily Carlson

What was first intended as a kind of new student orientation web site changed largely in scope when University of Illinois Journalism Professor Eric Meyer surveyed two of his classes about campus crime.

Meyer said new and old students reacted very differently about increased reports of robberies, batteries, and sexual assaults. Discussions resulted in an interactive website. Illinois Public Media’s Jeff Bossert spoke with Meyer, and two of his students, Matthew Shroyer, and Emily Carlson, about the project.
