John Surico’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I am a freelance journalist, based in Queens, NY. Born and raised on Long Island, I studied journalism and politics at New York University, and my work focuses on criminal justice issues, class, urbanism, and how we collectively cope with the American system. I have reported abroad, from Cuba, Sweden, and Rio de Janeiro, before, during, and after the 2016 Summer Olympics. I can speak conversational Italian, and am currently learning Portuguese. I also shoot with a Nikon D3100 DSLR.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Editor of my high school editor, during the 2008 election.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I have, I should more and I will.

How is social media changing news?

It's making it like a pencil that you flick back and forth: super fast but blurry in the middle.

Is this you?
