I’m an independent reporter, editor and radio producer. I love finding and telling underreported stories and digging deep into topics that matter. With all its challenges, I believe journalism is as important today as ever, especially as a tool to advance discourse on consequential issues. My areas of focus include migration, economic development, humanitarian aid, and all things Haiti. I’m based in Boston but have reported from Europe and across the Americas, conducting interviews in French, Spanish and Haitian Creole. My stories have been aired and published by PRI’s The World, Latino USA, USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, Longreads, Al Jazeera America, and many others. I’m a graduate of Columbia University’s School of Journalism and Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I wrote a thesis on the detention of asylum-seekers.For story samples and to contact me, go to: http://amybracken.orgAt a glance:• Seasoned reporter, editor, producer and writer.• Focus areas: migration, economic development, humanitarian aid, religion, human rights, Haiti.• Experience in: radio reporting, editing & producing; print/digital reporting, writing; NGO comms.• Media outlets: The World, USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, & more.• Languages: English, French, Spanish, Haitian Creole.• Awards, grants and fellowships: Mental Health America journalism award, AP Beat of the Week, Fund for Investigative Journalism grant, French-American Foundation Immigration Journalism Fellowship, Round Earth Media journalism partnership.
