- 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).
