About Us

Limited and shrinking news budgets have created significant gaps in reporting from the state capital.  Washington State University's Murrow News Service can fill many of those gaps by providing a reliable stream of content for online news sites, newspapers and broadcasters throughout the region. The Murrow News Service-Olympia is a new, year-round pilot student news program that will pair Murrow students aspiring to multi-platform news reporting careers with professional news organizations. Our Olympia students are based in the newsroom of The Olympian daily newspaper at the state capital.
