Every Fourth Child ... Still
In 1986 WRAL produced a documentary on child poverty called "Every Fourth Child". The title reflected that one out of every four children in our state were living in poverty. Today the child poverty rate in North Carolina is about the same. To find out why, the WRAL Documentary Unit went back and revisited some of the people profiled in the original "Every Fourth Child" documentary.

In 1986 WRAL produced a documentary on child poverty called “Every Fourth Child." The title reflected that one out of every four children in our state were living in poverty. Today the child poverty rate in North Carolina is about the same. To find out why, the WRAL Documentary Unit went back and revisited some of the people profiled in the original “Every Fourth Child” documentary. The result is a new WRAL Documentary called “Every Fourth Child…Still” that reveals the cyclical nature of poverty and why it is such a difficult problem to solve.
“Every Fourth Child…Still” is hosted by WRAL News anchor and reporter Kelcey Carlson.
