I began my Editor in Chief role @FullerProject remotely, managing a team from home with a new baby during a pandemic. 2020 has challenged all newsrooms for obvious reasons and still our newsroom thrives. Here's why you want to keep an eye on this team and our coverage (1/11)
We’ve done more than 80 enterprise and investigative pieces in partnership w/ 25+ publications in the U.S. and globally. That’s with three full-time reporters and talented freelance journalists. We’re expanding in the U.S. next year so keep an eye out for job postings (2/11)
Our Global Editor @Sophia_MJones was thoughtful about commissioning local reporters and the journalism we do around issues affecting women. She organized our workflow and managed to report/partner with @TheAtlantic & @TIME. Oh, and she had a baby. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/02/afghan-struggles-to-rebuild-climate-change-complicates/ (3/11)
Then @louisedonovan did an investigation that landed on the front page of the int'l @nytimes on the plight of domestic workers, wrote for partners @NationMediaGrp & did a story for @AP on the garment supply chain. She’s going places. https://apnews.com/article/business-global-trade-coronavirus-pandemic-california-united-states-1cb3599ab931bddbffc9ac7752e78a22 (4/11)
Meanwhile, @CorinneRedfern reported for @SCMPNews & @ForeignPolicy, examining the intersection of gender/trafficking. She has pieces out in January examining LGBTQIA+ rights in the Philippines and the deportation of vulnerable populations in Italy https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/magazine/philippines-marine-pardon-duterte.html (5/11)
Last but not least of our reporters is @jessica_m_wash, who responded to a moment where race, a public health crisis and election intersected. She wrote pieces in partnership w/ @marieclaireuk & @guardian. She teaches me something new each time. https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/life/wild-polio-covid-vaccine-africa-715856 (6/11)
Over the year, @rikrani managed our Full Story column in partnership with @ForeignPolicy, responding to the conversations this year by commissioning some very talented reporters. Here’s a story she edited and commissioned from @JillLanglois: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/20/the-brutality-of-brazils-pandemic-call-centers/ (7/11)
We’ve been lucky to welcome new members to our team, such as @TiffanyMArnold, who has taken the reins as our first Senior Social Media Producer. We also welcomed @Amie_FR, who has worked with reporters throughout the year and manages the global team while Sophia is out. (8/11)
We’ve commissioned freelance reporters whose work we've partnered on w/ @TheAtlantic, @guardian, @CNN & @washingtonpost, like this @eileenguo piece about access to mental health care for women in prisons during the pandemic. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/they-witnessed-a-suicide-attempt-they-received-coloring-books-instead-of-counseling/2020/07/25/e4490bfe-cdbd-11ea-bc6a-6841b28d9093_story.html (9/11)
