Shalina Chatlani '13 Selected as a Local Investigations Fellow

Congratulations to St. Andrew's alumna Shalina Chatlani '13 who was selected as part of the inaugural class of the Local Investigations Fellowship. The program, which is being led by Dean Baquet, the former executive editor of The New York Times, gives journalists the opportunity to produce signature investigative work focused on their state or region that will be published by The Times and made available for free for co-publication by local newsrooms. When the program launched in October 2022, editors on the fellowship team visited local newsrooms across the country to learn more about the challenges facing local news. In those conversations, Mississippi in particular emerged as a place that could benefit from more investigative reporting resources to supplement its strong mix of local news outlets. Chatlani, a reporter for States Newsroom in New Orleans who was raised in Mississippi, will live in Jackson for a year to examine the state’s health care system. Read the full article here.
