Students at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism teamed up with the East LA Women’s Center (ELAWC) to produce an immersive visual journalism series. Under the instruction of Professor Robert Hernandez and his JOVRNALISM™️ program, eight students worked remotely with participates selected by ELAWC to produce stories about their lives after surviving domestic abuse.

Because of the COVID pandemic, each participate was shipped their own 360/VR recording kit and was trained on how to use the new technology to tell their own stories, alongside USC students ranging from majors including Computer Science, Public Relations and Journalism.
