Huffington Post Renews Crowdfunding Push for Ferguson Fellow
A second year for Mariah Stewart.
Last August, The Huffington Post announced it was starting a crowdfunding effort so that its selected fellow, Ferguson local Mariah Stewart, could extend the half-life of the Ferguson story through sustained on-the-ground reporting.
The work in Ferguson, according to Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim, is far from over, which is why Huffington Post has partnered once again with the Beacon Reader to raise funds to extend Stewart’s fellowship by another year.
In his announcement, Grim also indirectly addressed some of the efforts’ critics, who at the outset questioned why Huffington Post chose to raise funds instead of paying for a fellow itself.
