Missouri Digital News
In addition to news of Missouri's statehouse, MDN maintains a vast array of database archives available nowhere else on line including legislative roll calls and the longest continuing Interent database of bills.
MDN began as the first fully converged newsroom of the Missouri School of Journalism where newspaper, radio, TV and new media students worked together covering state government and political issues from MDN's statehouse office for a statewide audience.
In addition to MDN, audio stories prepared by the students were distributed to KMOX Radio in St. Louis, Missouri newspapers, more than half of the state's public radio stations, KOMU-TV in Columbia and KMOX Radio in St. Louis.
With more than two dozen reporters in some semesters, the program was one of the largest statehouse bureaus in the U.S -- if not the largest. It had been providing coverage of Missouri government and politics since 1972.
The director of the program was Phill Brooks, a senior faculty member of the School of Journalism, dean of the Missouri statehouse press corps and the Statehouse Correspondent for KMOX Radio -- the CBS-owned station in St. Louis.
In addition to the Missouri School of Journalism, Missouri Digital News had been supported by KMOX Radio and the Missouri Press Association. It operates under a non-profit board of directors of journalists and former journalists.
