#IgniteMedia is an independent news bureau that was created, designed and is currently updated by student journalists from the University of North Florida. #IgniteMedia will appear across a variety of platforms ranging from print-ready stories appearing on this website to photos, images and short bursts that will appear on social media platforms.

All the content will focus on events and issues concerning the One Spark festival that will take part in Jacksonville, Fla., from April 9 through April 13. The content is offered not only for public consumption but also to any news media outlet that may want to publish our content. #IgniteMedia asks that any news outlet utilizing our content give the reporters appropriate bylines. Reporters may be identified as #IgniteMedia reporters or University of North Florida student reporters.
