Meet the Columbia Politics Collective
In March 2020, Columbia University shut down its campus and shifted to online-only instruction for the rest of the academic year. At Columbia Journalism School this meant that the eighteen students in the Politics concentration of the Master of Arts program, a highly international group, scattered all over the world. The group decided to turn the COVID-19 crisis into a reporting opportunity. Under the name Columbia Politics Collective, they are spending the summer producing a series of dispatches about the ways the pandemic is affecting political life globally.
