Before joining the Midwest Newsroom as its inaugural fellow, Delkamiller was an investigative reporting fellow at the Flatwater Free Press, Nebraska’s first statewide nonprofit newsroom. She was also a News21 fellow in Phoenix, Arizona, where she produced an award-winning documentary for the project America After Roe.
