Knight Center alum James Crugnale recently landed a job as an editor at the Weather Channel in New York City.
He helps edit the science section of Weather.com which has expanded beyond its coverage of the forecast.
“I’ll be helping out on stories about space, nature, cool new discoveries, mysteries of the planet, the environment and health,” Crugnale said.  “Besides lists and
slideshows, I’ll be working on long-form stories and thoroughly reported science pieces.”
The Weather Channel made a serious investment in original video, journalism, and
photo content in 2013 and its digital news offering has been greatly bolstered, he
said.
Crugnale graduated with a masters degree from Michigan State University’s School
of Journalism with a specialization in environmental journalism in 2009. Previously he worked as a blogger/reporter for Mediaite and The Wrap.
