First, an editor’s note: Last week we shared information about our partnership with Report for America. As you know, one of the most important parts of this partnership is adding environmental reporting to our community. We’ve welcomed Report for America reporter Bennet Goldstein into our newsroom and our community to boost coverage of environmental issues, and our goal is to raise $15,000 this year to sustain Bennet’s reporting. This is how we can ensure that our community gets the type of local reporting it needs.
