#15: Nikole Hannah-Jones

The final installment of our “Women We Love” series features Nikole Hannah-Jones— investigative reporter for the New York Times Magazine, known for her extensive coverage of racial justice and civil rights for outlets including ProPublica, The Atlantic and Essence Magazine. She’s won many awards, including the 2012 Columbia Journalism School Tobenkin Award for distinguished coverage of racial or religious discrimination, and a Polk Award for her 2016 This American Life episode about school desegregation in Missouri. Hannah-Jones discussed these experiences at the Columbia Journalism School in September as part of our Delacorte Lecture Series, which brings in leading writers and editors from the magazine world to speak to our students.
