We’d been working toward this trip for months.

After pitching, research, setting up interviews and weeks of pre-production planning, the Spring 2017 edition of JOVRNALISM head toward the largest lake in California to tell its diverse stories using immersive technologies.

The Salton Sea is this semester’s focus, and it’s rich and complex history.

In a partnership with The Desert Sun, we ventured to the Sea during Spring Break to capture the story of California’s largest lake that is about to turn into California’s largest environmental disaster.

We’re not deep in post-production, but keep an eye out for our launch in the coming months.

For now, here are some photos from our trip.
