Columbia J-Schoolers Want You
Two of my fellow Columbia J-Schoolers are looking for an unemployed New Yorker near his/her last unemployment check to profile for a new media project. Here’s the e-mail I got:
My name is Shefali Kulkarni and I’m a reporter with the Columbia Journalism School here in New York. My colleague Sarah and I are doing an online media project about the unemployed New Yorker. We are looking for New Yorkers who may be running on their last unemployment check. Would you happen to know anyone in the New York area who we could profile?
Shoot Shefali an e-mail if you have any leads at ssk2154@columbia.edu.
Thank you!
