Washington has local news deserts. WSU has a plan to stop them

Seattle Now

About this episode

The Murrow News Fellowship gives early career journalists the opportunity to report from places that are underserved by journalism. There are 16 fellows spread throughout Washington. Earlier this year, the program announced an ambitious goal of placing a news fellow in all 39 counties. We talk with Benjamin Shors, who directs the Murrow News Fellowship program at WSU.
