Great Journalism Project

Now these are the kinds of investigative projects I like to see. This is the project given to students and faculty from five major universities in a multi-year effort.

The American military is in the midst of a profound shift in strategy that is reshaping the military’s presence, and in many cases, its mission, around the world. Older, permanent bases are downsizing or being restructured; newer, smaller and more flexible bases, in places new to American troops, are being created. We are looking for ways to tell stories—cultural, economic, political and environmental—about the nearly half million men and women serving the security interests of the United States overseas.

I can’t wait to see how this project comes out.
