Philadelphia Neighborhoods is a publication of the Multimedia Urban Reporting Lab at Temple University. Each semester, MURL students concentrate their news coverage in a targeted Philadelphia neighborhood, and then service it with topical information and service news from the community–issues from the school lunch and the missing stop signs–to the people who seek to maintain a livable community. This MURL brand of news provides a form of hyper-local coverage missing from our urban communities: journalism street by street.

Why it’s in the Showcase: Temple University uses WordPress to provide up-to-date and focused coverage of a variety of Philadelphia Neighborhoods.
