Announcing a fellowship to prepare and support the next generation of Black journalists, editors, and publishers.
Boston Review is now accepting applications for the Black Voices in the Public Sphere Fellowship, designed to prepare and support the next generation of Black journalists, editors, and publishers.
It is no secret that there is a profound lack of diversity in the media. Our new fellowship is intended to address this problem, building on
Boston Review’s long-term and deep commitment to publishing work on race and racial justice. “There are not many publications that can match
Boston Review’s commitment to publishing Black thinkers, giving space to debates about Black liberation from across the political spectrum, or insisting on the significance of race in broader questions of justice, democracy, and citizenship,”
Business and Technology Editor Ben Muessig made the following announcement.
We are thrilled to announce that Nour Malas has joined the Los Angeles Times as a deputy editor for Business. In her new role, Malas will lead a team focused on income inequality and help develop strategy for the department.
In more than a decade at the Wall Street Journal, Malas served as an international correspondent, a West Coast economics reporter and an editor on the health and science team. Based in the Middle East, Malas reported on the financial crisis in the Gulf states before moving on to cover the Arab Spring, the rise and fall of Islamic State and the refugee crisis. In Syria, Malas’ reporting pieced together a pattern of chemical attacks by the Assad regime to show how global indifference helped fuel government aggression against opposition. She was among the first reporters to reach Raqqa as Islamic State advanced, and covered the takeover of Mosul on the ground.
