Four distinguished graduates of the M.S.

The short bios below have links to these journalists' stories that attendees may want to read in advance.

Amy Brittain ('10 M.S. Stabile), is a reporter for The Washington Post's investigative team, and recently exposed the secrecy and inflated claims of the Trump administration's Project Airbridge, designed to bring protective equipment to pandemic hotspots.

Derek Kravitz ('13 M.S. Stabile), formerly ProPublica's research director,  built the Covid-19
FOIA Repository and is also helping THE CITY memorialize  New York City's 21,000 coronavirus dead. Many stories have come out of the FOIA repository, including this one on meatpacking plants that Kravitz co-wrote for The New York Times.

Nick Nehamas ('14 M.S. Stabile) is an investigative reporter at The Miami Herald and part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for the Panama Papers.
