Carnegie-Knight News21 is a national program that is headquartered at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. It brings together top journalism students from across the country to produce in-depth, multimedia projects for major media outlets. This year journalists took an in-depth look at natural disasters around the country.  We talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Jacquee Petchel, the executive editor of News 21, and two student journalists who worked on the investigation, Jordan Elder and McKenzie Pavacich.
