PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods is a publication of the Multimedia Urban Reporting Lab at Temple University. PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods is the cornerstone of the Department of Journalism’s mission to better tell stories in the undercovered and underserved neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Students tell the stories that represent the diverse voices of the multicultural and multinational Philadelphia neighborhoods.

PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods provides a form of hyper-local coverage missing from our urban communities: journalism street by street.
