This month we released our Environmental Justice Series. The project explores the intersection of ethical, political and social issues with climate change. The first story in the series, Burdens of Heat, looks at heat-related illnesses and their effects on vulnerable communities. Upcoming topics include lead poisoning, air and water pollution, traffic, and access to healthy food.
This month, we released our College Diversity Series, which has been in the making since the beginning of the year. The Collaborative worked with our partners at the New Hampshire Press Association to develop teams of student journalists to explore issues of diversity on the state’s college campuses. Their reporting found that NH colleges have struggled to meet their own diversity goals, and they often face a tough sell in their bid for minority students.
