Washington and Lee University
onPoverty.org is a website generated and mainted by W&L students under the direction of Professor Edward Wasserman, Knight Professor of Ethics in the Journalism Department. This site is intended to be a meeting ground for professional journalists who cover issues related to poverty, class, and economic justice. By providing up-to-date news, we inform on the state of the poor in US media, but our mission is broader than that. we aspire to create a forum for journalists to synthesize their ideas and experiences, increase interconnectivity in the media community and, ultimately upgrade the coverage of poverty in the United States
