ACCOUNTABILITY REPORTER

Audrey Nielsen

I'm a freelance reporter and an investigative journalism focused student at CUNY Newmark. I'm primarily interested in accountability journalism in crime, courts, and higher education. I'm experienced with data and public documents with trainings from IRE and CIJ. My campus reporting has revealed discrepencies in COVID-19 regulations, interrogated systemic issues with CLERY Sexual Assault Reporting and historical Title IX hearings, highlighted campus scam opportunities and "honors" credentialing and more, earning me the John Briggs Award for Editorial Excellence awards for 2020 and 2021 and the 2019 Boston/NE National Student Production Award in Serious News.

I covered COVID-19 on campus and beyond throughout 2020-2021 and led WCSU's Election Connection broadcast as News Director in 2019 and 2020. I'm currently freelance reporting for the New York Daily News and contributing to the Mott Haven Herald and Hunts Point Express in the South Bronx.
