University of Central Missouri’s Muleskinner Backpack Journalism Project

The University of Central Missouri’s Muleskinner student news outlet has relaunched the Backpack Journalism Project to cover Missouri by traveling the “Missouri River Runner”. Over the upcoming academic year, the Muleskinner will travel to cities across Missouri. The student journalists will use Amtrak’s “Missouri River Runner” route, spanning from Kansas City to St. Louis, aiming to showcase the state’s history and perspectives.
