“Coal: A Love Story,” a project produced by students in the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication, won in the student category of the SXSW Interactive Awards presented on Tuesday.
The project is an interactive multimedia website that explores contemporary culture’s relationship with coal.
The site is the most recent installment of Powering a Nation, UNC’s contribution to the News21 project funded by the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education.
The school’s website, “Finding the Uwharries,” was also one of five finalists in the student category.
