Alumni Work

Tristan Baurick (Ted Scripps Fellowship Alumnus ‘12-’13) has been doing great things since leaving Boulder, including helping to fight back against environmental racism. Together with fellow journalists Joan Meiners, Gordon Russell and Sara Sneath from The Times-Picayune and The Advocate, and Claire Perlman, Al Shaw and Lylla Younes from ProPublica, Baurick and his team won the award for Outstanding Investigative Reporting (Large Newsroom or Circulation) at the 2020 Society Environmental Journalists’ conference for their investigative reporting on Louisiana’s Cancer Alley.

Eternal Harvest is a new film by former Scripps Fellows Karen Coates ('11) and Jerry Redfern ('13) which documents the catastrophic legacy of the US bombing campaign in Laos. The film follows their book, Eternal Harvest: The Legacy of American Bombs in Laos (ThingsAsian Press, 2013).

The podcast “Threshold,” brainchild of former Ted Scripps fellow Amy Martin ('16-'17), won a Peabody Award for its third season, titled “The Refuge.” Martin credits the Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism for giving her the time and space to help get “Threshold” off the ground.
