AUDIO-DIGITAL FEATURE: A Fever In The Dust
on Methods, from Science Friday
First Place Winner, Excellence in Digital Journalism, Engagement, 2021 Asian American Journalists Association Awards
Second Place Winner, Small-Markets Feature Category, 2021 Society of Environmental Journalists Awards
Although still unknown outside of the American West, valley fever is a severe fungal infection—and its territory may expand as the climate warms. This feature combines sound, audio interviews, photos, and data visuals to transport readers to the Central Valley of California and introduce them to patients and scientists studying this fungal disease. A radio feature broadcast on Science Friday accompanied this piece. On January 2021, we revisited the story and spoke to valley fever researchers and patients about the COVID-19 pandemic. That reporting was later featured in March 2021 in a radio conversation on KVPR's Valley Edition.
