KUNR Public Radio, a unit under the Reynolds School of Journalism, has announced its plans to build a new studio at the University of Nevada, Reno Lake Tahoe campus.
Support from the University will help to build a new studio and office space, allowing KUNR to broadcast live from the lake by summer 2025. In addition to the station, the University will fund a dedicated Lake Tahoe reporter for the first two years.
“The University is proud to support local journalism at the lake through this new role at our University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus and we’re excited to create a space for student journalists to practice their craft, to learn alongside KUNR,” said Provost Jeff Thompson.
With the addition of the new studio, the Reynolds School and KUNR plan to expand their internship program, the Lake Tahoe News Project, allowing more students to learn and report from the Lake.
