The Story Room

The Story Room is a free, wire-style service created for media partners to access and republish student-reported stories. This is part of Amplify Utah’s first initiative: a collaborative effort to bring diverse, student-driven perspectives into local news. By connecting college media programs with news organizations, we’re creating space for emerging voices and fresh viewpoints on the issues that matter most to Utah communities.

Explore the stories, share them with your audience, and join us in expanding the reach of local journalism.
