Reporter (She/Her)

I’m Jennifer Gerson, a reporter at The 19th who has a deep passion for the people who change the conversation, whether that’s politicians or influencers. I love stories that get at how contemporary American politics and popular culture both and prod each other, especially by examining how voters, public servants and advocates alike all seek to iterate and refine their political personas in response to this push and pull of culture and politics.

As a freelancer, my work has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Teen Vogue, and Insider, among other places. I received a Maggie Award for my reporting on reproductive health and policy for Yahoo Health and have been nominated for American Society of Magazine Editors awards for my work in both Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire. I was also a founding editor of the pioneering feminist blog Jezebel. 

A native Atlantan, I live in my hometown in Georgia’s election-year-famous Sixth District with my husband, two children and codependent cat.

My work is free to consume and free to republish because of contributions from readers like you. A donation of $19 goes a long way toward sustaining our nonprofit newsroom.
