An 18-month project during which PBS NewsHour produced and coordinated a multimedia focus on the national high school dropout crisis. Each of their regular correspondents reported on the crisis through the prism of his or her particular beat—education, health, politics, national security and the economy. The project will include the following:
broadcast and online segments
dedicated American Graduate page on the PBS NewsHour website
PBS NewsHour reports on social media channels
PBS NewsHour correspondent participation in CPB-funded Community Hub events
cross-promotion of PBS NewsHour content and that of other American Graduate editorial producers across all platforms
