The (very first!)New York Times Fellowship Class is coming up on the end of our yearlong gig. We're young! We're savvy! We're looking for jobs in perhaps the worst possible time!
Here's some of our best work:
Science reporter @KnvulS has been doing some incredible reporting on the coronavirus. Here's one of her latest, on the harrowing shortage of critical medications in hospitals: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/health/coronavirus-drug-shortages.html
In Opinion, video fellow @TalaSchlossberg has been animating up the wazoo, including this delightful video on recycling: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/opinion/recycling-myths.html
In Washington, reporter @lfadulu has been covering inequality like no one else. Here's her story on the struggles formerly incarcerated folks face when looking for housing: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/03/us/politics/criminal-justice-reform-housing.html
We've seen so much of the world through the lenses of photo fellows @callakessler and Brittainy Newman (bnewmanphoto on insta). They both captured amazing images of New Year's Eve in Times Square and lived to share their experience: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/04/reader-center/new-years-times-square-photos.html
A bonus from @callakessler, whose beautiful photo essay on Omaha high school students in their would-have-been prom gear was published today and is too wonderful not to share: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/style/prom-canceled-coronavirus.html
I'm still haunted by this story — which ran on the front page of the paper — from Metro reporter @salcedonews: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/03/nyregion/niagara-wheatfield-rape.html
Design fellow Nicholas Konrad. That's it. That's the tweet.

Metro reporter @aaronronel has been doing some powerful work — my favorite was this story on Hot Nutcracker Summer: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/17/nyregion/banned-on-the-beach-its-still-nutcracker-summer.html
In National, reporter @Vanessa_Swales broke down how a simple hand gesture became a symbol for extremists: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/us/ok-sign-white-power.html
(Speaking of National, @NickAtNews has also been kicking ass — and he was recently hired to stay at The Times, along with @heytherehaIey in Visual Investigations. They are delightful and integral parts of our class and you should know their names!)
We also dearly miss @ascentofjazmin, who got a gig at Conde Nast and is spreading her mad skills over there. Hi Jazmin! Please come Zoom with us! We miss you!
Food fellow @AJNierenberg wrote this heartbreaking piece on the relationship between cooking and grief, which you have probably already seen because I sent it to literally every person I know: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/28/dining/widows-cooking-grief.html
Our guy @jhnevins at the Magazine is one of the most beautiful writers I've ever met, period. He wrote this essay earlier this year: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/28/magazine/letter-of-recommendation-lip-reading.html
I don't begin to know where to start with @marielpadilla_, who has written so many fantastic stories. My personal favorite is this one, if only because I can say that I know someone who spoke to @HamillHimself: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/15/us/mark-hamill-star-wars-record.html
Astrology and therapy. Eye shadow palettes as social capital. The evolution of shapewear. Styles reporter @sanam_yar has truly done it all, and she is cooler than I will ever be: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/28/style/therapy-psychology-astrology-tarot-ayahuasca.html
So @devi_lockwood is a true renaissance woman here: She edits and writes in Opinion, and she's also done some wonderful stuff in Science and Culture. Most importantly: dinosaurs https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/opinion/coronavirus-business-new-york.html
It's hard to summarize the vast body of work @yaffebellany has contributed here with the Business folks. This piece, on the massive amounts of food being wasted in this crazy time, is a good place to start: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/business/coronavirus-destroying-food.html
Designer Felicia Vasquez has directed and created countless pages in the paper this year, across I think literally every section?! Including special sections for Sunday Business and the Sunday Arts and Leisure pages: https://www.feliciarenedesign.com/nyt-pages
Designer @s_han_non_lin makes our website such a delight — her work makes stories a full visual experience. She illustrated this Styles section on office culture: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/17/style/the-office.html
In Sports, @d_allentuck has covered literally Every Sport — she interviewed Simone Biles (the GOAT herself!) and found what is truly the most wild gymnastics story I have ever seen: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/08/sports/gymnastics-world-championships.html
At both The Weekly and in Metro, @RebeccaLiebson has been doing some fantastic work — one of my favorites is this beautiful story she wrote for the Times's Neediest Cases Fund: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/05/neediest-cases/taekwondo-lessons-single-parent.html
I'm going to end the thread by dropping one of my own favorites from the holiday season, because why not?
