As part of the COVID-19 Rapid Relief project at ASU’s Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, students from ASU’s Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication produced stories on the impact of COVID-19 on underserved groups. With guidance from professional reporters, the student journalists connected with local community members—including Native Americans, immigrants, refugees, and prison advocates—to raise awareness about the challenges they are facing.

Cronkite student journalists teamed up with two Arizona Republic reporters last summer to produce a series of stories about COVID-19’s outsized toll on some of the Southwest’s most vulnerable communities, including Native Americans, immigrants and refugees.
