In June 2012, a group of seven students from Stony Brook University set out on a reportorial tour of China.
They visited two areas: first, Baoding, which is about 90 miles south of Beijing in Hebei Province; second, Guizhou Province, which is located in southwest China and is the poorest, most rural area in the country. The students’ goal was to capture modern China - from big city to countryside, warts and all - in word, picture and sound. Their effort is recorded here on this web site.
Lead by Associate Professor Charles Haddad and Study Abroad Advisor Yilin Wang, the June trip was part of the school’s annual study abroad program called Journalism Without Walls.
