On this episode, we’re joined by Colleen Cronin. Colleen is a reporter for ecoRI News, a non-profit dedicated to reporting on environmental and social justice issues in southern New England.
Colleen covers rural Rhode Island. She’s been with ecoRI for a year-and-a- half as part of Report for America.
Colleen is a graduate of Brown University where she was editor in chief of The Brown Daily Herald. She also worked briefly at The Boston Globe.
Colleen talked about her journalism origin story. She shared a story of a discussion she had with her father (a police officer) about an early piece she wrote on racial profiling and how that impacted his perspective. She also talked about her interest in environmental reporting and the kind of stories she covers on her beat, ranging from leaf peeping to the teaching of humane ways of killing fish to coverage of mass transit issues and access to public records about car crashes.
And she talked about the different ways she manages her mental health, and the journalism issue most important to her.
