As newsroom layoffs continue to make headlines across the industry, Report for America is pleased to announce that it will place more than 60 reporters and photojournalists in new positions at local newsrooms across the country this summer.

These new corps members join hundreds more who will continue reporting on undercovered communities and topics for their second or third years in the national service program. Report for America has now matched more than 600 journalists with local newspapers, public radio stations, digital platforms, and television outlets, since its launch in 2017. 

“Beyond talented reporters and photojournalists, we actively sought out individuals who see journalism as a calling, who want to make a difference within their communities,” said Earl Johnson, vice president of recruitment and alumni engagement at Report for America. “Together, our early-career and experienced corps members will produce tens of thousands of articles on critically undercovered topics—schools, government, healthcare, the environment, communities of color, and more.” 

Everyone harbors different versions of themselves. The Outside Me shares two other versions of myself with help from the Inside Me and the Warrior Me.

These three gals should be explained.

The Outside Me. She, the lucky one, was some time ago considered good-looking or cute; physically strong; able to navigate along, going through many schools, even getting a master’s degree; then moving on to some high-paying jobs, etc. 



That worked out well. The Outside Me even landed a prominent staff position in the U.S. Senate, but she also drew attention and regular requests from some needy ones in her sphere.
