About me
My name is Ansel Herz. I’m a 24-year-old freelance multimedia journalist now based in Seattle, after spending the past two years in Haiti.
I lived and reported through the 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12. My work has been published by The Nation magazine, ABC News, Al Jazeera English, Reuters Alertnet, The New York Daily News, Inter-Press Service, Free Speech Radio News (FSRN), among others.
I have been interviewed by CNN, CBC, BBC, the New York Times, Democracy Now!, and other outlets. And I’ve also produced video for PBS NewsHour, Agence France Presse, and ITV.
I began college at the University of Washington at age 15 and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in multimedia journalism. For FSRN, I reported on Texas prison and immigration issues during college, while volunteering with Indymedia and Food Not Bombs in Austin. I also hosted and produced local radio show On the Fringe on KVRX 91.7 FM for over a year.
My goals are to advance media justice and “go to where the silence is” in my own reporting.
