Oxford Stories An online news site produced by University of Mississippi journalism students Student stories were reprinted in the newspaper and on the website, respectively.

Oxford Stories is a national award-winning news project produced by students at the University of Mississippi. From 2018-2018, the project was the focus of one of 10 national winners selected to receive a $35,000 Challenge Fund for Innovation in Journalism Education grant from the Online News Association. The goal of the fund is to hack or disrupt the journalism curriculum using a customized versi

on of the teaching hospital model. The fund supports universities that partner with news organizations exploring new ways of providing information locally. Oxford Stories leaders attended and spoke at leadership seminars at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida; visited the The New York Times, the Associated Press, and the City University of New York journalism school offices in New York City; and participated in classes at the Columbia School of Journalism in New York City and Maine Media Workshops in Rockport, Maine. Launched in the fall of 2015 as a news website where University of Mississippi journalism students could publish their work and share it on social media, Oxford Stories first teamed with The Oxford Eagle and HottyToddy.com, providing exclusive content for both publications. We later welcomed The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal and other news organizations as partners serving as a student news wire service. Oxford Stories is updated frequently with stories about Oxford, Lafayette County and Mississippi. If you are interested in republishing some of our student stories, please contact us. If you have a story idea, email professor LaReeca Rucker at [email protected].
