Forty-five percent of corps members are journalists of color, reflecting America’s diverse communities
“The crisis in our democracy, disinformation and polarization, is in many ways a result of the collapse of local news,” said Steven Waldman, co-founder and president of Report for America. NEW YORK (PRWEB) April 27, 2021
Report for America today announced the placements of some 300 journalists for its 2021 reporting corps. The cohort, which includes a number of corps members returning for a second or third year, will join the staffs of more than 200 local news organizations across 49 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam.
The Columbus Dispatch
To better reflect and serve communities within the city of Columbus and beyond, The Dispatch is adding a reporting position to write for and about refugee and immigrant communities in central Ohio.
This is made possible through Report for America, which today announced the placement of about 300 journalists nationwide for its 2021-22 reporting corps.
Yilun Cheng will join the Dispatch staff in June to work with veteran reporter Danae King in covering underserved communities. Cheng, who has a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of California and a master’s degree in political science from Columbia University, is currently completing her course work toward a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.

RUND ABDELFATAH, HOST: Hi, it s Rund. And this week, we wanted to bring you something a little different. It s part of a series called La Brega, and it s a co-production of our friends at WNYC Studios and Futuro Studios.
RAMTIN ARABLOUEI, HOST: La brega is a hard word to translate. In Spanish, it means something like the struggle or the hustle. And the seven episodes look at how la brega has defined so many aspects of life in Puerto Rico, which of course is a distinctly American story.
