CBS Invests in Statehouse Investigative Reporting With ‘California’s Fentanyl Fight’ Special
CBS invests in statehouse investigative reporting with a documentary special on the fentanyl crisis to debut Jan. 1 on three California stations.
The half-hour news special, “ California’s Fentanyl Fight: Politicians V. Parents,” will debut Jan. 1 on KCAL-TV Los Angeles, KPIX-TV San Francisco and KOVR Sacramento, on linear and streaming platforms. For CBS News California correspondent Julie Watts, her investigation into the legislature’s inability to address the fentanyl crisis raging across the state led her to meet with parents who have lost their children to overdoses of the synthetic opioid drug. The more Watts spoke with parents who lost kids to fentanyl, the more she realized that “California’s capital is really convoluted and complicated” and that capturing the personal stories of loss would help translate the policy debates and political maneuvering to a general audience.
