December Profile of Three Science Journalists

This month, we’d like to share with you a slate of science journalists who cover a wide variety of specialties. Experts who study topics ranging from space to agriculture to medicine will all find valuable contacts here.

Liza Gross - Inside Climate News

Liza Gross is an environmental journalist at Inside Climate News.

• Gross’s beat includes science, conservation, and agriculture. Her approach often focuses on social justice issues, like environmental justice and “the misuse and abuse of science for private gain.”
• She also has a background in food writing: She started her career at Wine Spectator, has written for the Food and Environment Reporting Network, and received an award from the Association of Food Journalists.
• Gross is based in Berkeley, California, and many of her freelance stories have been for outlets focused on California and the West, like KQED and High Country 麻豆传媒. She may be an especially good fit for stories of local or regional interest.

Nadia Drake is a freelance journalist and contributing writer at National Geographic.

• She most frequently writes about space-related topics, including astronomy, astrophysics, and planetary science.
• She often travels internationally for her reporting, including to locations ranging from Peru to the Arctic Ocean. She would be a good contact for experts whose work can be supplemented with on-the-ground reporting.
Her strong science background includes a PhD in genetics from Cornell University; she can be trusted with stories that require a deep understanding of the scientific research process.

Jonathan Fahey - Associated Press

Jonathan Fahey is a health and science editor at Associated Press.

• Fahey’s career has included a strong emphasis on health and science as well as business, and many of his stories have combined the two fields—for example, he covers the healthcare business and consumer issues as well as medicine and public health topics.
• He “enjoys experimenting with new forms of story-telling for all platforms” and may have an interest in pitches suited to multimedia coverage.
• His most recent work has covered a variety of topics, including COVID, animal transplants, space, and medical discoveries. This, along with his role supervising other journalists, makes him a great all-purpose contact for science experts.
