We\u2019ll be reporting on cases big and small \u2013 some that you\u2019ve heard about and many that you haven\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our goal is to explore justice in America and the efforts to make it fairer. Durham has a charismatic new district attorney, Satana Deberry, who is one of the leaders in a nationwide movement to reform the criminal justice system. Our reporters will be tracking her efforts and assessing whether she is delivering on her campaign promises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our student journalists also will be spending a lot of time in courtrooms, reporting on trials and hearings and plea bargains. We\u2019ll give you a front-row seat to Durham justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The courthouse project is staffed by some of Duke\u2019s best journalists. Julianna Rennie, who has interned for NBC News, PolitiFact, and the Charlotte Observer, is the student editor. The reporters are Erin Williams, Ben Leonard, Swathi Ramprasad, Kristi Sturgill, and Niharika Vattikonda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I started the 9th Street Journal a year ago to provide students in our growing journalism program with new opportunities to cover local news. The courthouse project is an excellent next step that will give them a chance to delve deep into some of the most important issues facing not just Durham, but the entire country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-Bill Adair, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Editor<\/span><\/p>\n<p>(Above, the Courthouse Project team, from left: Niharika Vattikonda, Erin Williams, Cameron Beach, Julianna Rennie, Bill Adair, Kristi Sturgill, Swathi Ramprasad and Ben Leonard.
