Faces of Faith in America is the latest project of News 21, "a journalism experiment sponsored by the Carnegie and Knight Foundations that assign difficult stories to specifically trained journalism students to be produced in both innovative and traditional ways."
I saw it first at Boing Boing.
Cory Doctorow had this to say about them:
These student presentations are better than anything I've seen from "real" news agencies and could serve as a model for the future of interactive/online journalism.
