A unique bilingual journalism training program at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is making a significant impact in preparing a diverse pool of newly trained journalists to enter newsrooms across the nation. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU) is helping to provide newsrooms with a diverse pool of newly trained journalists ready to take on the world. The program, which is one of the few of its kind in the United States, filmed its last Spanish newscast for the semester on Wednesday. The video, which is available to watch in the player above, provides a behind-the-scenes look at ASU journalism students in action as they work to produce a newscast that reflects the growing diversity of the communities they serve. The program’s focus on bilingual journalism is particularly important in a state like Arizona, where there is a large and growing Spanish-speaking population. By providing students with the skills and experience they need to report on the news in both English and Spanish, the program is helping to ensure that all communities have access to accurate and informative news coverage. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is a leader in journalism education, and its bilingual journalism program is just one example of the school’s commitment to preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st-century media landscape.
