Jonah Newman’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm a data journalist at The Chicago Reporter. Previously, I've worked at The Chronicle of Higher Education, Homicide Watch D.C., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Jerusalem Post. My writing has also appeared in Thirty Two Magazine and Tablet Magazine.

My focus is on telling stories that investigate, explore and, ultimately, complicate our understanding of the world. I'm always looking for new ways to draw people into a story and convey complex information simply, powerfully and beautifully.
