#SEJSpotlight: Meg McGuire, Founder and Publisher, Delaware Currents

Meet new SEJ board member Meg McGuire! In 2015, Meg created Delaware Currents — an online news magazine focused on the four-state Delaware River watershed and the 330-mile river — on her own! She's a writer, an editor and, in a pinch, a newsroom manager. Meg is especially a fan of local reporting on big issues, to bring home to people how climate change affects us all and help us develop much-needed understanding of others who are likely dealing with even worse effects.
