Alabama Daily News and Alabama Public Television have announced a new partnership with the hiring of Trisha Powell Crain, the state’s renowned education reporter. Crain, known for her in-depth reporting on education statistics, will serve as Senior Education Reporter at ADN and will also provide valuable content for APT’s Capitol Journal and Spotlight on Education programs.
Crain’s expertise in education reporting has been lauded throughout Alabama’s education community, making her a valuable addition to both news outlets. Her focus on data-driven reporting will bring much-needed attention to education issues in the state, especially as lawmakers consider a new funding formula for K-12 education.
In addition to her reporting role, Crain will also collaborate with APT’s Educational Services department to provide free resources and support for educators, students, and parents statewide. Her deep understanding of Alabama’s educational landscape and commitment to reporting on issues that matter most to students and families will be a valuable asset to APT.
With an emphasis on the intersection of politics and policy, ADN aims to provide accurate and unbiased reporting on education and workforce issues in Alabama. Crain’s dedication to shedding light on educational trends and their implications for students will contribute to informed decision-making by lawmakers and policymakers.
Crain’s non-traditional entry into journalism nearly two decades ago has shaped her approach to reporting, focusing on evidence-based research and data analysis. Her expertise and commitment to education reporting will be a valuable asset to both ADN and APT, as they work to provide comprehensive coverage of state education issues.
