This is such an important program. Named after the late Dick Ravitch, who was a champion of the @newmarkjschool, & led by the incomparable @GregDavidonNY, it has trained hundreds of journalists on fiscal reporting topics. Thanks to the Ravitch Foundation for the renewed support.
New: The Ravitch Fiscal Reporting Program will continue at the Newmark J-School for the next three years!
This vital training, which has educated some 800 journalists over the past decade, delves into fiscal policy and economic coverage.

I knew, but didn’t fully appreciate until reading this @NYTmag piece by @lindavillarosa about the dangers of hair relaxers, how my parents truly protected my health and well-being! They encouraged my sister and me to love our natural hair despite anti-Black messaging everywhere.
