This funding will support coverage of health policy and health disparities in Connecticut by a full-time health reporter. This reporting will be shared across platforms with a focus on ensuring information reaches communities of color and at-risk populations.
The Connecticut Health Foundation provides grants to media organizations because news reporting on health care provides insights, informs debates, and ensures that critical topics reach broad audiences. The funding is awarded with an understanding that the journalism will be independent, and the grant will play no role in editorial decisions about health coverage.
