Writer & Journalist
Dispatches on culture, politics, and the overlooked. Based in New York. Published in The Atlantic, The Guardian, and elsewhere.
A deep look at the systemic pressures reshaping local newsrooms across the country — and the communities left without a voice when they disappear.
Read the pieceOne shop, thirty years, and a landlord who wants to double the rent.
What it means to choose clarity when noise is the default.
A conversation with the woman preserving 40,000 photographs from a demolished neighborhood.
A meditation on criticism, gatekeeping, and the curious longevity of the form.
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.
