WhoWhatWhy releases online student voting guide
WhoWhatWhy, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization focused on investigative journalism, has developed a voter guide geared specifically to college students. The free online resource, Student Voter Guide 2020, identifies barriers to student voting and recent college voting trends to motivate civic engagement.
The guide was developed following a WhoWhatWhy survey of 76 U.S. colleges and universities with results reported online in “Does your School Rate? The Top Voting Campuses in the U.S.” The University of Maine ranked 31st according to the report.
The mission of WhoWhatWhy is to foster forensic journalism by “seeking the truth, not quote seeking.” The organization pairs experienced senior reporters with young journalists to facilitate the transfer of values, methods, and culture to advance adaptive journalism that facilitates contemporary news delivery.
