The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is funding a new Arizona State University initiative to provide in-depth health care news coverage about underserved communities across the Southwest.

ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is receiving a $500,000 grant to establish the Southwest Reporting Initiative, which will provide timely and accurate health news and information, in particular about Latino and Native American communities.

Cronkite News, the student-produced, faculty-led news division of Arizona PBS, will serve as the hub for the initiative. With news bureaus in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., a Spanish-language news operation and partnerships with leading media organizations, Cronkite News students will produce multimedia content on health-related topics and issues with a wide reach.
