Series of articles by students published in FNP

August 1, 2023

“TikTok meets daily newspaper” – under this title, 21 journalism students researched the most interesting social media accounts from and about Frankfurt and met the people behind them for interviews. The result is a colorful mix of people, from a former drug addict to the petfluencer Husky, which is now being published in the Frankfurter Neue Presse in a loose series of articles – also online.

Overview

The students of the bachelor’s program in “Journalism and Corporate Communication” at the Frankfurt campus received professional support from print and online editors of the FNP as well as from the head of the seminar, Prof. Dr. Katja Gußmann. What a great success. We congratulate all young journalists!
Nikolai Kuhnert (editor-in-chief of the student team) reports on the project: “We were like a real editorial team. Searching for topics, finding deadlines and writing. We were allowed to plan and discuss everything ourselves with our professor Katja Gußmann and Julia Lorenz from the Frankfurter Neue Presse.”

It was a lot of responsibility, which was very educational and fun. Everyone was motivated and many exciting articles were written.
