Texas Community Health News is a new guide designed to help media organizations produce data-driven journalism that illuminates public health issues and builds resilient communities across the state.
According to the designers of the site, located at texascommunityhealth. org, the ultimate goal is not just to assist the media, but it is also to benefit journalism students as they conduct research, and others in the community who are seeking health data and information from one easy to access location.
TCHN Co-Director Kym Fox, a journalism professor at Texas State University, and Co-Director Dr. Daniel Carter, data analyst, said they are trying to bring more health reporting tools to the attention of local media outlets.
