In the web version, www.huntspointexpress.com, find stories on one of the worst apartment buildings in New York City and on the impact of federal budget cuts on local after-school programs and go to a circus where South Bronx teens fly and tumble and tightrope walk. Also, find videos produced by the Dutch students who visited Hunter for an intensive two-week video program.

Congrats to F&M Alum Azriel James Relph

Azriel James Relph graduated two years ago. His reporting for The Hunts Point Express, produced by Hunter’s Neighborhood News class, earned him a Sulzberger Scholarship to the CUNY j-school. When he graduated in December, he was hired by the investigative team of NBC News. Here’s what he does now, a sophisticated multi-media expose of a new form of sex slavery in the U.S. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42253545/ns/us_news-enslaved_in_america/
