Former Tow Journalism Fellow, FRONTLINE/Newmark Journalism School Fellowships
James O’Donnell was a reporting fellow at FRONTLINE in 2023. He holds a masters in journalism from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, where he focused on economics and business reporting as a Lisa Goldberg Scholar. He has written for outlets including WNYC, The New Republic, Crain’s New York, Forbes, and City & State.
His interest in data-driven reporting has led him to investigate racial disparities in New York City’s opioid addiction treatment programs for Gothamist, analyze police department relationships with Amazon’s Ring cameras for the Pulitzer Center’s AI Accountability Network, and measure the impact of anti-union campaigns for The New Republic. He hopes to continue his reporting on both the health care system and the workplace at FRONTLINE.
