Jennifer Duncan, a student at Mesa Community College, seeks to redefine the role of the journalist as a civic journalist, one whose job it is not just to write about what happens in the community, but to raise public awareness and help the community solve problems. To date, Jennifer has founded two publications in Mesa, Arizona. Both publications are street newspapers newspapers written and distributed by homeless people. In this way, Jennifer helps raise awareness about the problem of homelessness, while providing the opportunity for public expression and job training for those who work on the paper.
