Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of a race and reporting course-based student journalism project, a partnership between a university and a national media outlet, which aimed to center the concerns of young voters during the 2020 presidential election and expand training of student journalists. This qualitative study explains how student journalists' training in intersectional reporting helped them to produce complex stories about diverse young voters' presidential election concerns during one of the most unique presidential elections in American history--one held during a global health pandemic and on the heels of a racial justice uprising.
