I’ve been highly skeptical of their u.s. efforts but I didn’t think to doubt them when they told @laurahazardowen they’d have “journalists”, i.e. plural https://t.co/3dKNwFkklh pic.twitter.com/2Gszg7mVSF

The U.S.-based journalist is Eric Holthaus, who will be reporting on climate change from Minnesota, though his stories won’t focus on the U.S.: “I’ll be telling stories that are collaborative, constructive, and transnational,” he wrote in a beat memo. The others are OluTimehin Adegbeye, who will report on power structures and “othering”; Irene Caselli, who will report on “the first 1,000 days” of life from Italy; Tanmoy Goswami, who will report on mental health from New Delhi, India; and Nesrine Malik, who will report on politics from London. The company’s headquarters remains in Amsterdam; there will be no New York or U.S.-based office, as The Correspondent’s early messaging had promised.
More freelance correspondents will be introduced “after launching” on September 30, Correspondent editor-in-chief Rob Wijnberg said in a Medium post, and “we’ll also be translating internationally relevant pieces by a number of our Dutch correspondents into English” (something that De Correspondent has also done in the past).
