The Staff of Lookout Santa Cruz: The People vs. the Storms
In 2023, California’s Santa Cruz County was hit with nine atmospheric rivers that caused widespread displacement and devastation. During this period, the six reporters on staff at Lookout Santa Cruz – a roughly two-year old digital news outlet – stretched themselves thin providing in-depth coverage of the region’s most vulnerable communities. Their efforts and reporting won them the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News. In this episode, members of Lookout’s staff take us back to that time to discuss covering climate catastrophes as a small news organization and why local newsrooms are critical to upholding democracy.
