Philadelphia-based Temple University announced the creation of the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation Center for Urban Investigative Reporting in July 2021. The Logan Center is housed at the Klein College of Media and Communication under the leadership of Dean David Boardman, an award-winning journalist and a leader in the field. Students at the Logan Center work in partnership with local journalism organizations in order to serve the North Philadelphia community and produce meaningful, solutions-oriented journalism. JLFF is proud to support these efforts to produce a diverse new generation of journalists and make the field of investigative reporting more equitable and inclusive.
Through this generous grant, our students will not only graduate with impressive journalism skills, they will be producing important work while they learn – David Boardman, Dean of Klein College of Media and Communication
With support from JLFF, Temple University hired multimedia journalist and experience educator Yvonne Latty to serve as the Director of the Logan Center and teach undergraduate students the skills they need to pursue a career in journalism.
