Update 1/13/2010: I am fine. Staying in Port-Au-Prince.

My name is Ansel Herz. I’m a 21-year-old freelance journalist based in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Why Haiti, since September 2009? Read here.

I’ve reported for Free Speech Radio News on Texas prison and immigration issues and organized with Indymedia and Food Not Bombs in Austin.

Started college at the University of Washington at age 15 and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in multimedia journalism.

My goals are to advance media justice and “go to where the silence is” in my own reporting.
