Ann Marie Cunningham

Reporter in Residence

I am the 2020 Lipman Senior Fellow in Civil and Human Rights Reporting at Columbia Journalism School. I used my Fellowship to travel to Jackson, MS, to work at the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting, https://www.mississippicir.org. As Reporter in Residence, I am covering domestic violence against women of color during the COVID-19 pandemic.
