The Project

For this project student reporters spent two semesters studying the issues involved and spent eight days on the ground reporting from Mexico, where they were led and guided by Cronkite School faculty members.

“Querétaro: Promise of prosperity for Mexico” was made possible by a grant from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Illinois-based nonprofit organization founded by the international photojournalist, author and philanthropist.
