Cameron Pugh’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm an award-winning journalist reporting for The Christian Science Monitor, where I primarily cover Greater Boston. I've written about everything from immigration to environmental policy to politics, and I'm always looking for the next story.

I graduated from Williams College in 2023. There, I served as managing editor, and before that, arts editor, for The Williams Record. I was one of ProPublica's Emerging Reporter Fellows in 2022, and am a member of NABJ and NLGJA.
