Jill Colvin is a New York-based journalist currently working as a stringer for the New York Daily News. This summer , she worked as a reporter at The Globe and Mail, Canada’s largest-circulation national newspaper. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New York Press, and the Huffington Post.
Jill is a graduate of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, where she specialized in national affairs and political reporting, feature writing, and new media storytelling. She also holds a Master’s degree in sociology from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
She has worked as a news writer and associate news editor at the Columbia Daily Spectator, as a contributor to the New York Press, and as a researcher at the London Bureau of the Washington Post.
Jill hopes to write about social trends, urban living, politics, women’s issues, race, religion, youth culture, fascinating people, and the impact of new technology on social life. She’s currently torn between hard-hitting political reporting and human interest feature writing, and hopes a benevolent publication will one day allow her to do both… if there even are publications… which she’s pretty sure there will be.
She loves the energy of big cities, talking to strangers, traveling, and trying to figure out why it is that people do the things we do.
And regardless of what the AP says, she is strongly in favo(u)r of the Oxford Comma.
