Public Integrity adds two new investigative reporters

The following excerpt was sent out by the Center for Public Integrity:

Kristian Hernández and María Inés Zamudio are joining the Center for Public Integrity as investigative reporters focused on inequality in the United States.

For Hernández, who has worked as a state policy reporter based in Texas for Pew Charitable Trusts’ Stateline project the past year and as an investigative reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, it’s a return. From 2017 to early 2020, he was a reporter at Public Integrity who contributed to the organization’s Goldsmith Prize-winning “Copy, Paste, Legislate” investigation, among other projects.

Zamudio is a national Peabody Award-winning reporter who covers immigration and other topics for WBEZ in Chicago. She previously worked as an investigative reporter at American Public Media, the Memphis Commercial Appeal and the Chicago Reporter.

Zamudio, who holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in journalism with a minor in Latin American studies, was part of a team from NPR’s Latino USA that received a national Peabody Award.
