Biography
I’m Megan Janetsky, a Colombia-based independent reporter and photographer covering migration, women's issues and human rights in Latin America. I've worked with The New York Times, BBC, The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, Al Jazeera, The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, VICE, Public Radio International, Poynter, Christian Science Monitor, The New Republic, Atlas Obscura and more. I am the Colombia/Venezuela stringer for USA Today. I've previously reported in Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Washington D.C. and on the U.S.-Mexico and Colombia-Venezuela borders. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, where the topic of immigration was always omnipresent in news and politics, but was often deeply misunderstood. It fascinated me, and I wanted to do better. Today, my goal as a journalist is to connect untold human stories to the politics and policies, and use multimedia to show the reality on the ground.
