NAFTA
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
"The NAFTA Highway: Bridging Borders" is the result of a newspaper partnership grant from the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The grants are made available for universities and newspapers to exchange staff and collaborate in ways not previously possible.
The grant proposal written by Fred Blevens, an associate professor at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, was one of only 10 selected for funding across the United States.
More than 80 students participated in the SWT/News-Sentinel project to examine the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the proposed NAFTA highway.
Six advanced reporting students joined News-Sentinel staffers in reporting trips to a half-dozen states and Mexico.
The student reporters included Chriscia Jackson, Will Holford, Erin Magruder, Cynthia Cieluch, Robert Henley and Deborah Martinez. Gary Rice, coordinator of SWT's print journalism program, was the students' reporting team leader and primary editor.
News-Sentinel team members included Lynne McKenna Frazier, business editor; Chip Somodevilla, photographer; Dorsey Price III, design editor; Vicki Rettig, copy editor; and Eunice Trotter, projects editor.
Other contributors included Keith Hitchens, News-Sentinel online manager; Melody Schmitt-Foreman, News-Sentinel Web editor; and Sarah Wright Plaster, SWT advertising instructor.
