Lina Ma’s Biography

Lina Ma is a Chinese-born freelance journalist and research writer based in New York. She covers gender, digital culture, and social change in contemporary China, with a broader interest in human rights and global affairs.

Her reporting and analysis have appeared in The Diplomat, Global Voices, The New York Times (Letter to the Editor), and Global Affairs Review. She is particularly interested in how ordinary people navigate censorship, shifting gender norms, and political change, and how personal stories illuminate broader social transformation.

Lina holds an M.S. in Global Affairs from New York University, where her research examined how China's family planning policies have shaped women's careers and workplace inequality. She is available for reporting, feature writing, interviews, and research-driven storytelling.
