Murrow students are telling global stories that matter.
Through the Murrow College's Backpack Journalism program, students traveled to Vietnam to report on the growing demand for Washington apples, capturing not just the economics, but the cultural connections behind the story.
We’re proud to see their work published in The Spokesman-Review, highlighting both their reporting and photography skills.
Congratulations to our talented student journalists and photographers for bringing these stories to life.
