About CU Citizen Access

This video introduces you to some of the key people behind the CU Citizen Access reporting project about poverty issues in the Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and Champaign County area.

CU-CitizenAccess project focuses on poverty and related issues in Champaign County.

This Web site offers a place for citizens, journalists and university students to share news, raise and discuss issues, find assistance and suggest solutions.

The site is backed with funding from the Marajen Stevick Foundation and the University of Illinois, with a matching grant from the John S. Knight and James L. Knight Foundation.

The News-Gazette is a project collaborator, along with contributions from the faculty and students from the Journalism Department in the College of Media at the University of Illinois.

The video was produced by John Paul, a lecturer and graduate student at the University of Illinois Department of Journalism.
