The Reporter's Notebook, Ep. 19: Miranda Cyr on Education
Miranda Cyr (Nathan J. Fish / Las Cruces Sun-News)
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about education.
We’ll talk to Miranda Cyr, who has covered education for the Las Cruces Sun-News for the past couple years. Miranda is a Report for America fellow; Report for America is a national service program that places journalists into local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities. An initiative of the nonprofit media organization, The GroundTruth Project, it is structured to harness the skills and idealism of an emerging group of journalists plus the creative spirit of local news organizations.
Last week was Miranda’s final week with us. She’ll be leaving Las Cruces to join the staff of the Register-Guard in Eugene, Oregon — where she’ll also cover education. We wanted to talk to her about some of the biggest stories she’s covered during her time here, some of the throughlines in her reporting, and what we should be looking for as we move forward.
