This is London -
Each semester the Missouri School of Journalism partners with the International Enrichment
consortium to send a team of student journalists to London. Each
student serves an intensive internship with a London media or
advertising organization, studies British life and culture under noted
UK professors and learns the joys and challenges of international
journalism under a University of Missouri professor.
This is a log of the midterm projects of the Fall 2006 students.
In addition to these stories, the students maintain a blog of comments
and photos called Hello Missouri, This is London.
