Opportunities 04/27

The New Yorker, Adventure Uncovered, Healthline, and more.

CORRECTION: The April 25, 2022 Digest incorrectly suggested author Kim Kelly failed to cite scholar Tera Hunter in Kelly’s book, Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor, which was published yesterday. The Washington Post removed the citations from the book chapter they excerpted. Our original phrasing implied that Kelly wrote an article for the Post ; this was also incorrect.
