Former Deadspin staffer Greg Howard, now a David Carr Fellow at The New York Times Magazine, published his first piece today, about the low odds of activist DeRay Mckesson’s bid for mayor of Baltimore. Read it here.

The New York Times has awarded David Carr fellowships to three journalists: John Herrman of The Awl, Amanda Hess of Slate, and Greg Howard of Deadspin. The paper established the fellowship after Carr, who wrote the influential Media Equation column, died of complications related to lung cancer in February 2015.
