Partnerships Boost Local Radio News:
Short on staff and funding, public radio stations are teaming up with other news outlets to expand local coverage. A 2013 merger between St. Louis Public Radio and the St. Louis Beacon news site fueled in-depth reporting on protests in Ferguson, Mo., after black teen Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer in 2014. St. Louis Public Radio's Stephanie Lecci and Nancy Fowler used this press pass and notebook (right) to cover the protests. The rubber pellets are from a police stun grenade used to disperse crowds. |
