Alumnus Heimpel teaches Journalism for Social Change at Berkeley

Daniel Heimpel (M.A. Print Journalism '07) is the lecturer for a journalism course at UC Berkeley's Graduate School for Journalism. In "Journalism for Social Change," Heimpel "will focus on foster care, where the causes and effects of policy, social work and the news media play out plainly in the lives of children." Students in the class also have the opportunity to be considered for the Journalism for Social Change Summer Fellowship, "where eight students will earn a stipend of $5,000 each while producing policy-driven news stories about the foster care system to be placed in popular media outlets," states the course description.
