Dear Editors,

The Neighborhood's Story<http://colabradio.mit.edu/event-the-neighborhoods-story/>: How Boston Globe Journalists Listened to One City Neighborhood
Wednesday, May 1st at 6 p.m. in the Media Lab, 15-525.

Details:

In 2012, the Boston Globe undertook a year-long effort to understand the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood of Dorchester. For decades, journalists have been reporting shootings and homicides there – rushing to crime scenes and then leaving to file their articles on time. The Globe wanted to tell a more complete story of the neighborhood. 

Two journalists – one of them originally from Dorchester – moved into an apartment in Bowdoin-Geneva in the Summer of 2012. With the help of videographers, photographers, data journalists, multimedia producers, editors, and fellow reporters, they spent a year learning this neighborhood. Learn what they did and how they did it at this open MIT event.<http://colabradio.mit.edu/event-the-neighborhoods-story/> If you can’t attend in person, check out the live blog at http://civic.mit.edu/blog.
