Meredith Somers
reporter. editor. storyteller.
I am a Swiss Army Knife writer; deep-dive investigator, academic and bureaucratic translator, spot news observer, feature storyteller.
All stories need to be told, and some of my favorite stories are the ones I know had a direct impact on someone.
My work has earned a variety of awards for reporting on government transparency and accountability, and breaking news. I believe deep down that if people know what is going on, if they understand how policies and events affect people and communities, they will make better decisions individually and collectively.
I write to empower people to tell their stories in an understandable and productive way.
