Marcela García, Associate Editor & Columnist: Boston Globe
Description
On this episode, Mark Simon speaks to Marcela García, associate editor and columnist for the op-ed page at The Boston Globe.
Marcela often writes about Latinx communities in Boston including in a newsletter she launched, ¡Mira!, that is written in English and Spanish. She also writes some of the Globe's unsigned editorials.
For that, she and two of her colleagues were finalists for this year's Pulitzer Prize in editorial writing. As the Pulitzer board noted "For their politically courageous and deeply reported editorials on how Boston can humanely and effectively close underutilized schools in ways that improve student learning."
We talked to Marcela about the series, the work that goes into reporting and writing, and her advice for students with aspirations of writing op-eds and editorials. If you like the former podcast, Longform, I think you'll enjoy this episode.
