For their monthly “Covering Climate Now” column, Columbia Journalism Review talks with Monica Samayoa, a climate reporter and a member of the Uproot Project’s steering committee. Uproot is a network for journalists of color who cover the environment, which launched in the spring of last year. Samayoa said of the project, “Climate change disproportionately affects communities of color and lower-income communities, but these stories really get overlooked; because of that, the climate crisis is not seen as a crisis by everyone.”
Tonight at 7pm Eastern, the National Book Critics Circle will announce the finalists for their 2021 awards as well as hold a panel on book reviewing with Jo Livingstone, Daniel Mendelsohn, Parul Sehgal, Katy Waldman, and David Varno.
