Carly Berlin will join Vermont Public and VTDigger as a Report For America corps member in an effort to expand coverage of housing and infrastructure in Vermont, the organizations announced Wednesday.
In an unprecedented collaboration between two of Vermont’s leading news outlets, Berlin will cover two of the most vexing challenges facing the state: the availability, affordability and condition of housing, as well as aging infrastructure that is no longer serving its residents.
“Carly is an experienced and accomplished reporter, and I think she is the ideal person to take on this beat. We are eager to start working with her and our friends at VTDigger to enhance our collective coverage of these vital issues,” said Mark Davis, senior editor at Vermont Public.
Berlin is currently a metro reporter at New Orleans Public Radio in Louisiana, reporting daily news, features, and podcast segments focused on housing, transportation and city government. Prior to that she worked as a Gulf Coast Correspondent for Southerly, a nonprofit news organization that covers the environment in the Southeast.
Berlin will start her two-year appointment at Vermont Public and VTDigger in July 2023. Her work will be published by both outlets. Report for America, Vermont Public and VTDigger will share the cost of the position.
