I’m a writer and editor with nearly 30 years of experience in the media (magazines, newsletters, newspapers, radio), covering everything from general news to advertising, energy, entertainment, finance and technology. I also write and edit content for businesses, and I have a master's degree (with merit) in creative writing from Lancaster University in the UK.Call me a generalist (with a few specialties), and that's a fair assessment. It’s also an asset. The breadth of knowledge that comes from covering a lot of issues allows me to think creatively and critically to uncover what’s important, spot trends and see the bigger picture. It also helps that most of my career as a reporter has been in Latin America. The frequent volatility means that you often have to work fast and thoroughly to produce effective, engaging, in-depth and data-based content that unravels issues so that readers can understand and act on them.Here’s what a fellow journalist wrote about me:“Charles Newbery is … someone who tries to see both sides and who reports from the center. They are rare birds these days.” – Robert CoxMy writing has appeared in Advertising Age, Al Jazeera, Americas Quarterly, Billboard, Business Week, the Financial Times, LatinFinance, Latin Trade, MarketNews, MarketWatch, The New York Times, S&P Global Platts (oil & gas), Tokyo Journal (copyeditor since 2012) and Variety, among other publications. Beyond journalism, I write and edit blog posts, newsletters, press releases, reports, op-eds and other content for businesses. My clients have included IFC and the World Bank, as well as Alexander Hughes, Disney, GE Power, GeoPark, Mastercard, Millicom, Wintershall Dea and others. I’ve also researched companies, markets and politics for reports to help clients make decisions on what to do with their businesses or investments.
In a nutshell, I know how to get the interviews and do the research to write clear and concise content as a journalist, writer and editor.
