SXTXState’s Journalists Cover Tech Trends at SXSW

This year we awarded a grant to the Texas State University School of Journalism and Mass Communication where student beat reporters who are enrolled in the SXTXState program covered trending topics throughout the SXSW Interactive conference.

Under the direction of Dr. Cindy Royal, a professor at the university and Director of the Media Innovation Laboratory, the graduate students attended sessions and activations and published content related to defense, aerospace, and innovation.

After the event, we asked the team to tell us about their experiences at SXSW – what was most interesting to them, what keeps them going back (2019 marks the 12^th anniversary of the SXTXState project), and what they’re hoping to see more of during SXSW 2020.
