For the second time in four years, the Economic Hardship Reporting Project (EHRP) has supported and co-published work that is among the finalists for a National Magazine Award, this time as part of a package from Oxford American magazine.

The 2018 nomination in the General Excellence in the Literature, Science and Politics category recognizes Oxford American’s work across three of the magazine’s 2017 issues. Highlights include a nearly 12,000-word EHRP-supported feature, “The Socialist Experiment,” by Katie Gilbert. Gilbert’s article profiles Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba of Jackson, Miss., and his vision for a progressive local government.

In 2014 the EHRP-supported multimedia work “The Last Clinic,” published by The Atavist, was nominated in the video category. Read more here.
