Cal State Los Angeles journalism students and faculty have been awarded a New Voices grant intended to support creative new citizen media projects. The team will "partner with community groups to launch 'micro-bureaus' to cover the San Gabriel Valley’s largely Asian and Latino community [and] computer science grad students will help build a news management system for the project," says the release. They get up to $12,000 the first year and $5,000 the second year, and are among ten projects chosen nationally from 312 entries. Via Romenesko.
