The Freep is going to have a new addition this summer:






Young photographer behind viral Supreme Court hearing shot will join Detroit Free Press



Sarahbeth Maney, a sudden star of Washington photojournalism, plans to relocate to Detroit in June after a year-long New York Times fellowship.

Maney, 26, made a major splash this week with a viral photo from Day 1 of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court. She snapped Leila Jackson, 17, glancing at her mother with emotions every parent hopes to earn. A Detroit Free Press arts and culture reporter voices a future's colleague's pride as he shares Maney's tweet of the image:

The young woman who snapped this powerful photo is coming this summer to work full time for the Detroit Free Press. #detroit #michigan https://t.co/Pq5K2piFF7

The portrait of pride drawns national attention, as does the 2019 college graduate who captured it. The New York Times interviewed its staffer about the shot it calls "one of the event’s most widely shared images." The native of Oakland, Calif., also spoke with her home area NPR station, KQED, and did Saturday interviews with WDIV of Detroit and MSNBC, among others.
