As newsrooms contract and real world issues expand, the media and, by extension, the public struggles to keep up with the most relevant issues of the day. Climate change, social injustice, worldwide wealth and poverty, the loss of human rights go underreported all across the globe. Most of the time they are covered sparingly, if at all. The need to refocus on key issues and report them robustly and with saturation is vital. The Kiplinger Fellowship helps answer the need to train today’s journalists to do better with this issues.
