SU's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications launched the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program to help educate future reporters, producers, and public relations professionals who will seek to explain the courts, legal cases, and law to the public, and to guide pre-law students in understanding the impact of news media coverage on law and justice.
