Building better health care journalism in Charlotte, with Rose Hoban and Michelle Crouch

From a new medical school to changes at doctors’ offices, there’s plenty happening in health care in the Charlotte region. Ledger editor Tony Mecia talks with Rose Hoban of North Carolina Health News and longtime Charlotte reporter and editor Michelle Crouch about an innovative new partnership between The Ledger and North Carolina Health News that will enhance the public’s understanding of health care and the local institutions that deliver it.

The joint effort is a creative solution by two digital media companies to keep the public informed, as many legacy news outlets have cut back on independent local reporting — and as large health care companies continue to grow in size and influence.

We examine the initiative and discuss Charlotte’s health care scene, the outlook for local news and how experienced health writers find and report stories.

The Charlotte Ledger podcast is produced by Lindsey Banks.
