Rossalyn Warren is a feature and investigative journalist. She has written for The New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, BuzzFeed News, VICE, CNN, BBC, ELLE and Teen Vogue, among other places. She was previously a senior news reporter for BuzzFeed News in London.
She’s reported from across Latin America, Europe, and Africa, covering world news, women’s rights, Internet culture, and humanitarian crises, and often, the intersection between all of these areas. Her investigation into press exploitation of mothers in poverty was nominated for a 2017 Orwell Prize, and her interactive WhatsApp conversation with a refugee was nominated for a British Journalism Award. Her work has been used by CNN to grill Donald Trump about his ‘Muslim ban’ and condemned as “fake news” by the Burundi government.
Rossalyn was a 2018 Ochberg Fellow at Columbia Journalism School. In 2017, Forbes named Rossalyn ’30 Under 30′ in media in Europe. She named news reporter of the year at the 2016 Words By Women Awards, and she was shortlisted for new journalist of the year at the 2015 British Journalism Awards for her coverage of Europe’s refugee crisis. She was also shortlisted for the Gaby Rado Award for best new journalist by Amnesty International in 2016.
Following her leading coverage of online harassment for BuzzFeed News, she published a digital book on the issue, Targeted and Trolled: The Reality of Being A Woman Online, with Penguin in 2015. She was a Press Fellow for the UN Foundation that same year.
