Meghan Sullivan wins McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism

Meghan Sullivan, OPC Foundation Walter & Betsy Cronkite Scholar Award winner in 2020, was among five veteran journalists named as the latest recipients of the McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism. Each of the winning projects will receive a grant of up to $15,000. The McGraw Fellowships, an initiative of the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Business Journalism at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York, were created in 2014 to support in-depth stories that “follow the money.” A freelance investigative journalist based between Alaska and Washington D.C., Sullivan will report on fraud schemes that target tribal corporations. A recipient of the Scripps Howard Fellowship, Sullivan worked on video investigations as a reporter, producer, and on-air correspondent for the Scripps News National Investigative Unit. Prior to that, she was a National Reporter for Indian Country Today, where she led an award-winning year-long series in partnership with the Solutions Journalism Network focused on the long-term impacts of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. She started her career in journalism as a reporting fellow for the NBC News Business and Technology Unit and the NBC News Bay Area Investigative Unit.
