Interview with Collier Meyerson

Collier Meyerson, who has written for The Nation, WIRED, New York Magazine, and others, will join our junior journalists for a conversation about race, politics, and whatever teen journos have on their minds. We’re opening this space to all students (grades 9th-12th) to give those interested in careers in journalism a chance to preview what it’s like to be a part of a community of writers. If you’re joining us, we ask that you do your research, bring a few questions, and get ready to listen.

Meyerson lives in New York City, where she was born and raised. She began her journalism career in 2011 as a fact-checking intern with The Nation magazine. Shortly after, Meyerson became a producer at MSNBC, first with the “Melissa Harris-Perry” show and then at “All In with Chris Hayes.” After she left MSNBC in early 2015, Meyerson worked as a contributor at Jezebel. In April 2015, she joined Fusion as a staff writer. Meyerson is the winner of an Emmy Award for outstanding news discussion and analysis as part of her work on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.” In 2016, she received the National Association of Black Journalists’ Digital Media Commentary award.
