How to cover inequality is a major theme for education journalists, and also a major challenge.
Last spring, we posted some of our best work on covering inequality in all its many forms.
Here is an expanded version for 2021, including pieces about covering racial inequality in schools, newsroom diversity and inequality, and the specific challenges of covering communities different from the one you come from:
Racial inequality in schools
Newsroom diversity and racial inequality in journalism
Writing across a racial or economic divide
Covering special populations
