About

YN

I write about the world as it is — and as it could be.

I'm a journalist and essayist with fifteen years of experience covering culture, urban life, and the media industry. My work asks why things are the way they are, and who pays the price when they change.

I've reported from six continents and contributed to The Atlantic, The Guardian, The New York Review of Books, and others. I'm currently working on a book about the decline of local news.

I'm available for commissions, speaking, and the occasional cup of coffee.
