Biography
Jo Napolitano is a special writer for Newsday covering public education and climate change in a post Sandy world. She spent nearly five years as a staff reporter for the Chicago Tribune, covering crime, education and breaking news, writing about everything from school shootings to Ponzi schemes to the shame surrounding two jailed governors. Her coverage of two high-profile missing women led to several appearances on MSNBC, FOX and CNN. Before joining the Tribune in 2004, Napolitano spent more than two years at The New York Times’ Chicago Bureau, where she chronicled a soon-to-be incarcerated governor’s dismantling of the death penalty while penning numerous features for the culture, sports and business sections of the paper. Recognized for her sensitivity to victims, she has often been called upon to handle the most delicate of cases, writing extensively about families who lost soldiers to war, children to street crime and mothers to domestic violence. Napolitano, hired by Newsday in 2010 to write about education policy, was recently asked to take on a new beat focusing on climate change and infrastructure. She’s spent the past several months meeting with some of the world’s leading climate experts to learn about mitigation and adaptation efforts around the globe. Napolitano is a native New Yorker who lives in Brooklyn.
