Reporting and Writing Fellows

In this final edition of Points South, the 32 summer fellows focus on their own experiences through personal reflection and visual storytelling. The writers whose essays appear here have opted to include their writings for publication on the website. These projects and those of the visual journalists below embody Poynter's mission: To attract and develop journalists able to practice their craft and, perhaps most important, to reflect on how and why they do it.
