Abstract
This paper argues that journalism education plays an important role in testing new ideas and practices in journalism. The main aim of this paper is to present the experiences of the hyperlocal news module 2012–2018 in the University of Jyväskylä, Finland and summarize the module s implications for journalism education. The paper asks if it is possible to use hyperlocal journalism module as a proxy for the future of journalism and journalism education? Its methodology is based on case study research, ethnography, and content analysis. The data consists of student-run hyperlocal news outlets (n=46), and ethnographic observations.
