With the announcement of the newly-created Cronkite Agency, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Southwest Health Reporting and Communications Initiative will now be directed from within the Agency. Student-led teams, under the leadership of Nicole Macias, professor of practice, will create public relations campaigns, community education outreach and digital marketing strategies aimed at the Spanish-speaking parents of young children in the Southwest.
Pauline Arrillaga, an award-winning writer, editor and professor who led the RWJF Southwest Health Reporting Initiative at the Cronkite School, will take over as executive editor of the award-winning Carnegie-Knight News21 program.
The discussion, “The Role of Collegiate Investigative Programs in Professional Journalism,” examined the importance of programs that allow students to delve into investigative work and how those programs can work with professional news organizations in the U.S. and abroad. The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the Cronkite School hosted the event.
