In the wake of major layoffs at The Denver Post, The Economic Hardship Reporting Project (EHRP) announced a fund to enable reporters and photographers laid off by the newspaper to produce feature-length stories about growing economic inequality, both in Colorado and America.
Coverage included stories in Columbia Journalism Review, Poynter, NiemanLab, The American Press Institute, and Westword
The Economic Hardship Reporting Project, a journalism nonprofit founded in 2012 by Barbara Ehrenreich, aims to change the national conversation around poverty and economic insecurity. The stories that EHRP commissions—from narrative features to photo essays and video productions—put a human face on financial instability. EHRP has placed its contributors’ reportage and photojournalism at The New York Times, NBC News, Politico, The Verge, Vox, Vogue, The Atlantic, The New Yorker and many others.
