Connecticut lawmakers are considering a bill that would provide public funding for 12 early-career journalism fellowships in newsrooms around the state. As a fellow reporter, I love the idea of building our pipeline of local journalists but is there a catch? We talked through the legislation with Ben Bogardus, Professor of Journalism and Chair of the Department of Journalism at Quinnipiac University.
