The New Journal’s November issue is out now! You can read it online, or pick up a copy in New Haven! The issue—our biggest ever—is packed with original reporting and investigations into organizations both big and small. Reporters paint portraits of complicated figures and interrogate larger stories found around the country and in New Haven—like abortion, religion, and environmental access, to name a few. Between pieces you’ll find moving poetry and exciting photography, and tying it all together are the stunning layout and illustrations made possible by our talented design team.

Nicole Dirks examines a local Planned Parenthood’s neighbor, a family center on a mission to help pregnant clients and end abortion.
Miranda Jeyaretnam and Sarah Cook take a closer look at The World Mission Society Church of God, which has recruited on Yale’s campus and has been accused of being a cult by former members.
Paola Santos writes a pointed article about restricted beach access in Connecticut while incorporating her childhood memories of days on California’s coast.
Chloe Nguyen paints a portrait of the Neville Wisdom Design Studio, a space that sticks out between the shops of Broadway.
Camille Chang takes us on a journey into New Haven’s boba scene—even venturing behind the scenes at one boba shop, Loose Leaf—and critically considers the consequences of the selective commodification of East Asian culture in American cities like New Haven.
Hanwen Zhang wades through New Haven’s flooding problem, and potential solutions to the failures of the city’s infrastructure.
Caroline Reed considers the conditions that have led to New Haven Public School teachers moving to better-paying districts and talks to some who have chosen to stay.
Kylie Volavongsa carefully interrogates the nature of the community of artists-in-residence at the Sweet Dreams Society, nestled in the back of the Graduate Hotel lobby.
Ella Goldblum, Netanel Schwartz, Jools Fu, and Paola Santos share five iridescent poems.
Simon Billings writes about the Yale Farm in an Aside.
Rachel Shin captures a student rally for affirmative action before the Supreme Court in photos,
and Jesse Goodman closes out the issue with another crossword, which can now be filled out on our website!

The issue was laid out, illustrated, and phenomenally put together by our design team—Kevin Chen, our creative director, and designers Meg Buzbee, Camille Chang, Karela Palazio, and Charlotte Rica. And the issue wouldn’t have been possible without the photography of Lukas Flippo.

“For seventeen long years, from 1959 to 1976, Vladimir Sokolov had been a respected lecturer in Russian at Yale. By 1985, he was facing death threats and imminent deportation from the United States. Sokolov wasn’t the dissident he insisted he was. He had been a N**i.” Zachary Groz reports for The New Journal’s October issue, out now in New Haven and online.

“Over half a century, the methods, assumptions, and values of law and economics so deeply permeated legal scholarship and pedagogy that they faded into the background, enshrining a set of market fundamentalist orientations as just part of what it means to ‘think like a lawyer.’” An emerging legal movement at Yale Law School is now challenging that long-held consensus. Jack McCordick reports for The New Journal’s October issue, out now in New Haven and online.

An emerging legal movement challenges a long-held consensus. I.

Do you like writing stories that matter, all expenses paid? Have an ambitious project or a big idea? Then apply for the Ed Bennett Memorial Fellowship by June 4th at 11:59 p.m.! The award ––averaging $1000––is open to all Yale undergraduates, even if you haven’t written for The New Journal before.

The Fellowship will be given to student journalists who propose pieces about Yale or New Haven that involve in-depth reporting beyond the Elm City. For an EBMF-supported article, think about the national implications of local stories. You might propose investigating how a particular issue pertinent to New Haven has been felt in other cities, or how Yale has influenced (or been influenced by) a far-away place like Singapore or Sitka.

Here are some examples of great past EBMF stories to get an idea of what we’re looking for:
http://www.thenewjournalatyale.com/2018/04/pangaeas-edge/
http://www.thenewjournalatyale.com/2020/09/the-still-small-voice-of-god/

Your application, due to us by June 4, 2021, should include the following:
1. A one-page proposal for the article you would like to write. Please tell us: what the article is about, how the article relates to Yale or New Haven, what the overarching questions will be, why this article should be written now, and why you think it is nationally significant.
2. A writing sample, either journalistic or academic. (If you have it, journalism is highly preferred.)
3. A budget detailing likely reporting expenses—such as transportation, court document fees, translation fees, or anything else. Please describe in detail how travel would enhance your proposed story. We expect awards to be on average around $1,000—if you have a strong proposal that requires more support, please be specific in explaining why.

Please see the graphic below or our information sheet linked here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RB1FliWFf1XoxoY2Sa-8_1oejW4pMnZe/view?usp=sharing) for more information. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
