As we get ready for 2021, we’d like to hear from you on how we can improve. Take our survey and be entered to win gift certificates, memberships to The Reader and $100 cash!
In the summer of 2020, The Omaha Reader and El Perico will receive a fellow through a yearlong grant from “Report for America,” an organization that places emerging journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities. The focus will be to expand our local coverage of Latino issues. While we’ve long prioritized coverage of everything from immigration to quinceañeras, there are still many human stories going untold.
