Project: Report Round 2 Roundup

Alex Amend, Pulitzer Center

Round 2 of the Pulitzer Center/YouTube Project:Report has come to a close. The assignment: to find a local story and present its global significance. The 10 semi-finalists and 13 other aspiring journalists submitted another diverse batch of stories told very well, and thanks in large part to YouTube featuring Project:Report, this round saw the largest viewership and amount of comments posted. There were almost 1 million combined views of the five finalists and five runners-up!
