Executive Director at Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk - Columbia, Missouri, United States
The mission of the Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk is to enhance the quantity, quality and impact of journalism on agriculture, water and related issues throughout the basin. We're building a distribution network so these stories can have even greater impact. In partnership with Report for America, we're placing 10 new reporters on the ag and water beat in 10 newsrooms throughout the region. In addition, we're recruiting five expert journalists to serve as advisors and collaborators. By making resources available on this beat, we aim to support more complete coverage of these critical topics. As our reporters build deeper knowledge, they'll be able to tap into a network of newsrooms, experts, and support that will help them tell more equitable, impactful and interconnected stories.
