Focus
Supporting the Interrelated Public Interest Fields and Disciplines
Our focus areas include the emerging fields of public interest technology, journalism, communications and law.Public Interest Technology University Network can expand the ComPITefieldsnce Project to play a vital role in the process with a focus on education, work-based and service learning, human resource and workforce development across all public interest fields and their diverse academic and professional disciplines.
Public Interest Journalism can utilize national, state and local news media and cross-sector Public Interest Communications to stimulate bipartisan public policy discourse.
Public Interest Law, a dynamic, diverse and expanding field, plays a vital role in our collaboration with the Education Industry Network. Public interest law has a rich tradition of moral and ethical inquiry into the values that guide legal practice and has much to offer to the comparatively younger field of public interest technology. In fact, public interest law was the model on which the Public Interest Technology University Networkwas founded in 2018.
