25 years after Mikelle Biggs vanished, sister seeks healing through documentary

Mikelle Biggs disappeared off her street in Mesa while riding her bike in January 1999. Her family is hoping a documentary will dispel rumors.

Just wanted to shout out all the students who joined us for Camp Cronkite last week. I had a blast, and I'm so impressed with our next generation of journalists communicators. I snagged this pic from LinkedIn because it made me smile. #CronkiteNation (Photo: @Cronkite_ASU.)

Has Arizona's social equity program done the "exact opposite" of what voters expected when they legalized marijuana in the state? You decide. Analisa Valdez reports for @cronkitenews. Great photos from Stella Subasic at @cookiestempe. cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2024/…

Critics say Arizona social equity marijuana program did ‘opposite’ of intention

Arizona legalized recreational marijuana and established a social equity ownership program. Critics say the state failed to establish a fair program. We explain how it happened.
