A backpack journalist needs to research the story, interview the subjects, write the piece and produce the video package all within a very short window of time. to use virtually one computer to create all of these pieces.

The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication has created this unique learning space on the campus of Arizona State University in downtown Phoenix.

Under the leadership of Dean Christopher Callahan Poureetezdi and his team of professionals worked for nearly a year to plan the changes necessary to achieve continuity throughout the building.
