Show Notes
Washington State Universitys Murrow News Fellowship, funded by the state legislature and private donors, places early-career reporters in newsrooms across the state. These reporters have produced over 3,000 stories, holding communities accountable and sparking real change. Facing a funding cut, the fellowship aims to expand to all 39 counties, providing not just reporters but also resources to build sustainable revenue for newsrooms. Reporters like Monica Carrillo-Casas have built trust with immigrant communities, scoring national coverage and securing releases for detained individuals. Moe Clarks investigation into passing the trash in Washington teachers accused of sexual misconduct led to a clearer public database flagging real cases.
