Education reporter

I’m Nadra Nittle, The 19th’s education reporter and a journalist since the aughts. I’ve worked for newspapers including the Inland Valley – Los Angeles Times, El Paso Times, the Santa Fe Reporter and the Press-Telegram and online publications Vox and Civil Eats. I’ve also freelanced for The Guardian, Business Insider, Huffington Post, BBC News and NBC News. 

As a foreign correspondent for The Guardian,  I won an award from the Los Angeles Press Club for profiling artist Betye Saar. I’ve earned many honors from the same organization, including third-place finishes for three 19th stories: librarians fighting censorship, Karen Bass’ historic mayoral campaign and the nation’s first school named after late author Octavia Butler. A piece I wrote for California Health Report on the challenges youth with disabilities face as they transition to adulthood was a finalist for a California News Publishers Association award. 

I briefly taught after college and have a master’s degree in education.
