About Jennifer

 

Jennifer Karchmer is a 20-year veteran journalist who monitors and defends freedom of the press in the USA and worldwide. 

She has worked as a full-time reporter and stringer for several mainstream media outlets including CNN, Gannett, McClatchy and the New York Post. With a start in journalism working as a reporter for local radio in upstate New York, Jennifer also worked as a staff writer for the Associated Press.


Now, she focuses her efforts on supporting and writing for independent media, most notably as a columnist for community newspaper Whatcom Watch in the Pacific Northwest, which celebrates 20 years of publishing (1992-2012). 


As the Washington State Bureau Correspondent for Reporters Without Borders, she writes about press freedom and helps to protect fellow journalists. Earlier in 2012, she conducted a six-week research project in Iceland on press freedom. 

Jennifer is a graduate of the Ithaca College Roy H. Park School of Communications and the Washington Semester Program for Journalism at American University. 

She welcomes hearing from fellow journalists and others interested in media and the state of the news industry today.
