Report on Arizona’s stories
Cronkite News Phoenix students step into our state-of-the-art newsroom and hone their skills alongside more than a dozen award-winning professional journalists to produce both daily and in-depth content.
Students get a full newsroom experience—from generating unique story ideas and reporting across the Southwest to posting and producing stories across our platforms, which include television, audio, digital and social channels.
Students create important, deep and differentiated news content that reaches a wide audience. Our 30-minute newscast airs weekdays on Arizona PBS and reaches 1.9 million homes across the state in the nation’s 11th-largest media market. More than 100 outlets—newspapers, websites, newsletters, television and radio stations—regularly publish or air our students’ work.
Cronkite News emphasizes innovation, encouraging students to experiment with new tools and storytelling techniques. And we’re committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in our newsroom and in our content.
Each year, Cronkite News garners top awards in student and professional journalism competitions. Our students emerge with skills that put them in high demand for today’s rapidly changing, cross-platform newsrooms. Students go on to jobs at local television and radio stations, network and cable television, and print and digital news organizations of all sizes. They work as reporters, editors, digital producers, newscast producers, audience engagement specialists, photographers and digital video producers.
