"What makes reporting the greatest job in the world is that you get to talk to people and hear their stories. Writing for City Limits allowed me to be a witness to the battles everyday New Yorkers were waging in neighborhoods throughout the city."
The Tom Robbins Investigative Reporting Fund establishes summer internships for CUNY student journalists at City Limits and THE CITY, two nonprofit newsrooms where the late journalist served as editor. Robbins, who died at 76, spent decades investigating injustice and misuse of power in New York City while mentoring emerging reporters. Interns selected from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, where Robbins was Investigative Reporter in Residence for 14 years, receive $10,000 stipends to produce accountability journalism. Robbins' career spanned the New York Daily News, The Village Voice, the Marshall Project, and other outlets, beginning with housing organizing on the Lower East Side.
