Meredith Corp., its CBS affiliate KPHO Phoenix, and Arizona State's Walter Cronkiet School of Journalism and Mass Communication have created a minority fellowship program. The program is a week-long January crash course in news production and reporting from faculty and KPHO staffers resulting in the production of a 30-minute newscast.

Full-time minority college students no more than a year from graduation are eligible.
