White Bread Girl: Real Life Chronicles Of A Twenty-Something, Rose Aschebrock
White Bread Girl: Real Life Chronicles Of A Twenty-Something, Rose Aschebrock
Honors Capstone Projects - All
Hi! Did you pick up this project book, see the title and immediately wonder, "What is a White Bread Girl anyway?"
Good question. I like you.
There are so many books aimed at the 20something category claiming to represent my generation and miserably failing.
Maybe I fall into a 20something minority category but I don’t enjoy eating pizza at 2am like Lena Dunham in her book Not That kind of Girl, I don’t like eating nothing and drinking everything like The Betches do in their book Nice is Just a Place in France and I’m not a fan of …
Women Breaking Ground: A Website Profiling Women Entrepreneurs In Syracuse, Jill Comoletti
Women Breaking Ground: A Website Profiling Women Entrepreneurs In Syracuse, Jill Comoletti
Honors Capstone Projects - All
My Honors Capstone project is a website titled Women Breaking Ground (www.womenbreakingground.com). On my website, I published 10 feature-length profiles on women entrepreneurs in Syracuse. Each profile features photographs and an interactive map to show readers the location of the woman-owned business. This project is relevant because the number of women business owners in the United States is increasing; in fact, women are opening 1,200 new businesses every day. I hope that my project inspires even more women to pursue their passion and become entrepreneurs.

Macaronic, A Digital Travel Magazine About Chile, Leanna Garfield
Honors Capstone Projects - All
Macaronic, a digital travel and culture magazine, features stories about people and destinations across the world, with each issue spotlighting a new country. The first issue chronicles stories across Chile. As a digital native magazine, Macaronic encourages its users to connect with stories across borders. It appeals to curious millennials who strive for an authentic experience when they travel.
For this project, I traveled to ten different locations outside of Santiago to report stories from across the country, including Valparaíso, Concepción, Chiloé, and Patagonia. Macaronic includes four main “categories,” or sections: “Guides,” “People,” “Travels,” and “Culture.” It features a …

Project URL: www.tinkers.lindaggorman.com
My capstone project takes the form of a website, accessible at the URL above. The site features nine different journalistic pieces reported and produced over the course of the past year, all centered on the themes of robotics and cutting-edge DIY communities. I worked in several different media, from traditional print to audio to infographics. Though this project officially falls under the category of magazine journalism, my capstone also had a heavy technical component associated with creating the website and writing scripts to collect and visualize data.
In terms of the content, I reported and wrote about …
Strada: A City-Centric Digital Magazine On Florence, Italy, Gabriela Riccardi
Strada: A City-Centric Digital Magazine On Florence, Italy, Gabriela Riccardi
Honors Capstone Projects - All
More than 45 American university and colleges run programs in Florence, Italy, translating to more than one student center per square mile of the city. And the young American presence is apparent in Firenze. Students fill the city center, flock together in coffee shops, flow in and out of markets and museums and discoteques. But from this stronghold springs an Florentine catering to Americanism: there are restaurants that will speak English rather than Italian, shops that will sell American labels from home, and piazzas that are bustling not with young Italians, but students from the States. It can be remarkably …
Word On The Street: Examining What Characteristics Of A Street Paper And Its Host City Best Contribute To Success, Nicole Gorny
Word On The Street: Examining What Characteristics Of A Street Paper And Its Host City Best Contribute To Success, Nicole Gorny
Honors Capstone Projects - All
By creating opportunities for microentrepreneurship, street papers have been tackling homelessness and poverty in U.S. cities since the late 1980s. Homeless or low-income vendors purchase these social justice-oriented publications for a fraction of the cover price, and then resell them on street corners for profit. By 2015 the self-help model had spread to 35 U.S. cities, according to the International Network of Street Papers. These cities range significantly in characteristics such as population size, climate, geographic location and political atmosphere.
Drawing on interviews with more than 20 editors, staff and vendors at North American street papers, I have identified five …
