Nina Baker

My name is Nina Baker, and I am a journalist and photographer whose work has appeared in The Nation, The Des Moines Register, PolitiFact, Ballotpedia and The Daily Yonder. I have reported on crime, firearms legislation, national politics, newspaper closures, homeless encampments and labor law violations, among other topics. 

My reporting career began in Grinnell, Iowa, at the Grinnell College newspaper The Scarlet & Black. I have worked as a copy editor, staff writer, news editor and community editor.  I will graduate in May 2024 with a B.A. in Russian with an emphasis on Eurasian studies.

I am always interested in freelance assignments, other opportunities or to talk.
