Students work closely with Professor Tsitsi Wakhisi , the managing editor of The Miami News Service and a faculty member of the School of Communication. As students gain newsroom and classroom experience, they take on more responsibility throughout the year, serving as bureau chief, copy editors and assignment editors in the bureau. Stories are sent to subscribers by e-mail or fax. Reporters also generate their own story ideas. Over the years, these stories have appeared in papers throughout Florida, the United States and Canada, including the Tampa Tribune , The Ocala Star-Banner , Crisis Magazine , and the Ottawa Citizen .
Students use their experience with the news service to get jobs as stringers and interns.
