Here is some great reading and viewing for a sunny September day:

  • The Class of ’10 already is coming on strong: Hannah Rappleye’s Craft story about the closing of the Stella D’oro factory made the Daily News.
  • Speaking of the Daily News, Kate Nocera contributed to the paper’s West Indian American Day Carnival Parade coverage.
  • Collin Orcutt put together a series of videos and sideshows about sports and summer in the city for Sports Illustrated.
  • Valerie Lapinski looked at efforts to turn the Fresh Kills landfill into parkland. You’ll find her video piece at Time.com.
  • Sergey Kadinsky reported on the Rego Park Green Alliance for the Queens Tribune.
  • Damiano Beltrami covered a vigil for a severely beaten Pratt Institute student. You’ll find his story and pictures on The Local.
  • Jenni Avins has been in the thick of Fashion Week, filing pieces for Dossier.
  • Maya Pope-Chappell wrote about a young skateboarding entrepreneur for NBC Local Integrated Media.
  • Jessica Simeone contributed to the New York Post’s coverage of Derek Jeter’s big hit (even if it was only a single).
  • In our alumni corner, Claudia Cruz chronicled the plight of undocumented workers who became sick after aiding in the 9/11 cleanup effort.

Congrats to all – and keep ‘em coming!
