News21

News21 is a student reporting project created by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and based at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.

The project aims to, according to Coburn Dukehart, support and encourage "new forms of investigative reporting and storytelling.

The project included a four-part documentary series, a podcast, and Faces of Disaster, a multimedia package that profiled survivors across the country.
