Webinar of 'The ZIP Code Can Change Everything: COVID’s Toll on a St. Louis Neighborhood'

On July 12, 2021, journalists Richard Weiss and Leyla King, who contributed to a Pulitzer Center-supported project on the topic, and St. Louis resident Misha Marshall, who was featured in the reporting, gathered virtually for a conversation with moderator and Pulitzer Center Outreach Assistant Kayla Edwards to discuss how St. Louis’ most vulnerable neighborhoods were weathering the pandemic.

As the effects of COVID-19 hit communities far and wide, this team of Pulitzer Center grantees tried to capture just one community navigating these times. The 63106 Project is a collaboration between numerous local news outlets to shine a light on the experiences of families in St. Louis amid COVID-19. The project will follow different families throughout the duration of the pandemic, publishing a new chapter of their stories each month.
