About Us : JOVRNALISM
JOVRNALISM was created by USC Annenberg Professor Robert Hernandez in the summer of 2015 (trademarked in 2016) and has been taught every semester since, producing award-winning, innovative non-fiction experiences.
This project is a hackathon-style course where students from different backgrounds collaborate to decide how to apply an emerging technology to a story/theme, often in partnership with a media company.

Our media partners have included CIR/Reveal News, The Desert Sun, NBC, The New York Times, NPR, USA Today and others. We also collaborate with tech companies like Capturing Reality, Google, GoPro, Insta360, Kodak, SGO and many others.
