Eight Journalists Receive Alicia Patterson Fellowships for In-Depth Reporting in 2026
Mar 9, 2026 · original
WASHNGTON, DC; March 5, 2026 – The Fund for Investigative Journalism today announced that eight accomplished journalists have been awarded Alicia Patterson Fellowships to conduct public-service reporting this year. The annual fellowships foster independent, in-depth reporting on topics of public interest. The fellowships were established in 1965 in memory of Alicia Patterson, the founding editor and publisher of Newsday and the first woman to run a major U.S. newspaper. In December, the Alicia Patterson Foundation merged into the Fund for Investigative Journalism, which will administer and manage the fellowships going forward. The eight journalists who are receiving fellowship grants in 2026 were selected by leadership of the Alicia Patterson Foundation and the Fund for Investigative Journalism. Fellows will spend either six or 12 months traveling, researching, reporting and writing stor

Deepening support for public-service reporting, the Alicia Patterson Foundation merges into Fund for Investigative Journalism WASHINGTON, DC; December, 2025 – The Fund for Investigative Journalism and the Alicia Patterson Foundation announced that the two organizations are merging, bringing together two of the oldest and largest funders of independent journalism in the United States. Effective immediately, the Alicia Patterson Foundation’s six- and 12-month reporting fellowships will become a program of the Fund for Investigative Journalism. The merger, which comes at a time when journalism needs more support than ever, will help ensure that a range of assistance is available for independent investigative reporting in the U.S. for the long term. The Alicia Patterson Foundation was founded in 1965 and provides fellowships for in-depth, public-interest reporting. The foundation was establi
Inside the audacious mission to bring a rare toad back from the brink
Dec 9, 2025 · original
The amphibian “IVF clinic” fighting to save the first amphibian ever afforded federal protections. Strings of eggs from breeding pairs of the Houston toad at the Fort Worth Zoo are prepared for release into a pond at Griffith League Ranch. Each bag of eggs is filled with local pond water to acclimatize them to temperature and water quality and then emptied into floating bags that will help protect the eggs as they develop into tadpoles. Julia Robinson for Vox Love — or at least sex — was in the air of the small, windowless, biosecure room at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas. Sixteen rectangular, clear plastic bins lined the room’s back and side walls, tiny stages for unlikely romances. Each bin contained a plastic green pond plant — the kind you would buy for fish to make Nemo feel at home — about an inch of water, and two endangered Houston toads, a drab-looking critter with a pale belly, da
Unearthing the past: Iraq’s mass graves and the quest for justice

Workers exhume the remains of bodies from a mass grave, presumably where Turkmens from Tal Afar were killed between 2014 and 2017 when ISIS controlled the region, Tal Afar district, Iraq, July 2024Image by picture alliance / Anadolu / Ali Makram Ghareeb © Summary UNITAD, the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Daesh/ISIL, explored mass graves in Iraq between 2018 and 2024. Its mandate, supported by European governments, was cut short after relations with the Iraqi government soured, leaving many survivors and their loved ones without the hoped-for findings. This saga provides lessons for Europeans about how to back useful efforts towards justice and reconciliation in their war-ravaged neighborhood—including in post-regime Syria. Such stabilization efforts should work with local power, sensibilities, and civil society. In search of the disap

‘They Beat Me Like a Slave’: Signs of Violence in Sheriff’s Office Dated Back Years

The F.B.I. and a Mississippi sheriff investigated complaints about brutal assaults, but the deputies accused remained on the force and never faced charges. By Nate Rosenfield and Mukta Joshi Nate Rosenfield and Mukta Joshi are reporters for Mississippi Today. They examined the power of sheriff’s offices in the state as part of The Times’s Local Investigations Fellowship Department records and interviews with a former F.B.I. agent show that the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department had evidence of deputies’ violent acts long before the abuses of the “Goon Squad” came to light in 2023. Credit...Rory Doyle for The New York Times July 10, 2025 For nearly two years, the embattled sheriff of Rankin County, Miss., has tried to distance himself from brutality in his department, saying he was unaware of assaults like those carried out by deputies who called themselves the Goon Squad. But department
Unlocking the Gates: How the North Led Housing Discrimination in America
Jul 4, 2025 · original
Original release: February 12 2025 In this gripping follow-up to his award-winning podcast What Happened in Alabama? , Alicia Patterson Fellow Lee Hawkins exposes how Northern developers, brokers and legislators engineered a nationwide system of housing apartheid. Drawing on newly unearthed deeds, newspaper archives and first-person testimony, Hawkins traces the story of James and Frances Hughes , a Black couple who—in furtive, night-time “handshake” deals—bought ten acres in Maplewood, Minnesota, and sold lots exclusively to other Black families shut out by whites-only covenants. Through interviews with Hughes descendants, longtime Maplewood residents, and scholars from the Mapping Prejudice project, the episode shows how racially restrictive clauses—championed by real-estate titans such as Samuel Thorpe and codified by figures like former Lieutenant Governor Thomas Frankson —spread fro
Opinion | Are Embryos Property or People? Even the Courts Don’t Know

OPINION Are Embryos Property? Human Life? Neither? The Embryo Question is a three-part series about the cluster of cells at the crossroads of science, ethics and the law. Read the introduction. Between divorce cases and I.V.F. disputes, the frozen embryos vials like these will hold are increasingly caught in legal limbo. By Anna Louie Sussman / Visuals by Dru Donovan Before fertility patients begin the long journey through hormone treatments, egg retrieval, fertilization and — hopefully, if everything goes well — a baby, there’s the paperwork. As a first order of business, would-be parents are typically presented with a form that requires them to choose the fate of embryos they do not use in the course of building their families. Three couples — the LePages, the Fondes and the Aysennes — undergoing treatments from 2013 to 2016 at the Center for Reproductive Medicine in Mobile, Ala., fill
The Coyote Next Door
Apr 7, 2025 · original
What urban wildlife can teach us about cognition, survival and how to be good neighbors. Standing in a thicket of poplars, surrounded by tangled brush and magpie chatter, there’s an air of wilderness. But reminders of the urban world beyond the trees are everywhere: the whir of a passing car, a dog’s bark, a discarded sneaker. “That shoe’s been around for a long time,” says wildlife biologist Sage Raymond. “I have a really cute picture of a coyote pup chewing on that shoe.” This remnant of forest sits on the sprawling northwestern edge of Edmonton, Alberta, surrounded by two-story, vinyl-sided homes with tidy lawns. At about two hectares (4.5 acres), the pocket park is small enough that we never completely lose sight of the surrounding houses through the leafless, late-winter trees. Yet it’s big enough to hide two coyote dens. The morning is sunny and uncharacteristically mild for mid-Ma

Opinion: Mexico’s new president should tackle the country’s festering human rights catastrophe
Nov 3, 2024 · original
New President Claudia Sheinbaum can do more than her predecessor to resolve the disappearances and murders of Mexicans by gangs and past governments. (Fernando Llano / Associated Press) Every morning when I walk to the park across from my apartment in Mexico City, I am reminded of an unspeakable tragedy that has befallen my country for decades. Steps away from my front door is a small plaque reminding passersby that the building beside my own, now a government human rights office, was once the headquarters of the Mexican secret police, “a center for forced disappearance and torture in the ’70s and ’80s.” In that period, as part of Mexico’s “Dirty War,” the government arrested thousands of young dissidents who had taken up arms against a violent authoritarian regime. Researchers have estimated that between 1964 and 1982, 3,000 people were imprisoned, 7,000 tortured and another 3,000 kille
How Heavy Rains and High Tides Hurt Nyc’s Black and Brown Neighborhoods

Normally, Estefani Nuñez parks the small yellow school bus she drives each day by the side of her home in the Rosedale neighborhood in Queens. On the day before she knows it’s going to rain, she parks her school bus a block away. When it does rain, she puts on her tall black boots to wade through water to make sure the children she has to pick up get to school on time. Estefani Nuñez in front of her Rosedale home where she lives with her two children, elderly parents and husband. Nuñez says she experiences flooding from high tides and rainfall. Credit: Damaso Reyes Sometimes the boots aren’t enough and she is forced instead to wear garbage bags over them. Once in a while, when the water is too much, her own two kids become trapped at home because the flooding prevents them from leaving their house to make it to class.
