Here’s a short sampling of published work by urban journalism students and alums:

• Rosa Goldensohn, ‘14, takes a hard look at how prosecutors are using the moral panic around drug deaths to expand their power and charge people with murder for simply having an addcition in a story for the New York Times.
• Roxanna Asgarian, ‘11, investigates a tragedy of foster youth that unraveled in a decade-long nightmare of alleged abuse and malnourishment and ended in murder.
• Trevor Boyer, ‘18, dives into the opioid epidemic in the city and a program out of Rikers Island that could save lives across the state if only Albany would have the courage to institute it statewide, in this investigative piece for JJIE.
• Samantha Moldanado, ‘18, dives into the courts for Politico  to discover that Lyfy insists that it is not in the transportation business to wiggle out of abiding by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Chester Soria, ‘11, reexamines the NYPD’s harsh interrogation tactics of teens that led to the Central Park Five confessing to a crime that they did not commit for JJIE, and looks at what is being done to make sure it never happens again.
• Claudia Irizarry Aponte, ‘18, traces the heartbreaking journey of one New Yorker through New York City’s failing homeless program and exposes that more needs to be done to help thousands of unsheltered homeless.
• Karina Hernandez, ‘18, has tough questions for the mayor and his job program that failed to live up to its highly touted promises in this hard-hitting data dive for City Limits.
