Greenlee Investigates Launch and Listen Event |
|
Who: Students from JL MC 390L: Cold Case Journalism and Associate Prof. Tracy Lucht
What: Greenlee Investigates Launch and Listen Event
When: Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022
Time: 12:10-1 p.m.
Please join us Wednesday, Jan. 26, when students will discuss a cold case investigation they completed in fall 2021 as part of an entrepreneurial course in cold case journalism. All are welcome – students, faculty and anyone with a passion for true crime journalism. Students interested in taking JL MC 390L in fall 2022 are especially encouraged to attend.
JL MC 390L introduces students to cold case journalism, which uses investigative reporting to uncover the facts of an unsolved crime (or series of crimes) and lays out those facts with compelling storytelling. The course offers students an opportunity to develop investigative skills and information literacy by finding and working with public documents and data, interviewing sources, weaving information into a narrative and publishing stories in various formats. Students research an unsolved case and report their findings using forms of multimedia journalism chosen to best tell the story.
In fall 2021, the course began with a series of reading assignments and guest speakers representing different perspectives, including victims, law enforcement and investigative journalists. The latter portion of the semester was dedicated to an immersive project. Students came up with a name for their group, wrote a mission statement and reflected on their purpose.
Sheila Jean Collins
Then they decided to investigate the case of Sheila Jean Collins, an Iowa State student who caught a ride home on Jan. 26, 1968, and was later found dead. Using primary and secondary sources, investigative files and interviews, the class pieced together a timeline and several theories about what might have happened to Sheila.
Where can you listen to the podcast?
The class produced five episodes of a podcast, available here and on Spotify, Audible and Google Podcasts. Other students wrote stories and produced web content, which they submitted to the Iowa State Daily.
Why Jan. 26?
We have chosen this week to discuss the project because Jan. 26 will mark 54 years since Sheila Collins was last seen on the corner of Beach and Lincoln Way. Tracy Lucht has asked several students from the class to form a panel to talk about the project.

Publishing for Mobile Devices |

JL MC 317: Publishing for Mobile Devices (3 cr)
TR 3:10-5:25
What exactly is Publishing for Mobile Devices? It’s a way to merge digital content with traditional print.
In this 3 credit course, you’ll learn how to incorporate video, animation, web content, live maps and more into your publications and to prepare those publications for display on phones and tablets all in a team-based environment.
For the Spring 2022 offering, we will be using information gathered in the Fall 2021 JL MC 414X course to build an interactive map of ISU and the surrounding area to create an in-depth, multimedia-enhanced exploration of race in our community, both historical and contemporary. Because of the cross-course focus, the JL MC 316 prereq will be waived for this offering.
