On this episode of The Temp, Madeline Gillespie and Laren Morris lead the anchor desk with the hot bottom headlines from the Fall of 2023. With the help of correspondents Grace Ruffalo, Jadon George, Deesarine Ballayan, and Ameris Alfonseca, they detail the SEPTA “Revolution” Bus Plan, the nationwide officer shortage, the rise, fall, and rescue of the iconic Melrose Diner, and more.
The Temp, initially created by Klein College of Media and Communication students and now a course in the Journalism Department, covers social, lifestyle, and political news, in a format that aims to set itself apart from traditional broadcasts. The Temp hopes to bring light to the hottest issues in and around Philadelphia through innovative push-the-boundary reporting.
