We are delighted to share that Monica Campbell will join The Washington Post as an editor in Audio, primarily working with the “Post Reports” team. Monica will play a central role in shaping the arcs of our episodes, from one-day turnarounds covering breaking news to longer-term projects.

Monica has more than 20 years of international reporting and editing experience across broadcast and digital platforms. Over the past year, she has served as an editor for WBUR’s podcast unit, where she worked on the investigative series “Last Seen.”

She has also been teaching courses on news reporting and disinformation at the University of California at Berkeley and has led media partnerships for the Prison Journalism Project, taking on the shaping and placement of reporting by incarcerated writers in the country.

For nearly a decade, until January 2022, Monica was a senior editor and reporter for the award-winning radio program “The World.” She managed reporters from NPR affiliates nationwide and independent producers based around the globe who filed stories for the program. She was also sent for special coverage to Mexico, Haiti, Cuba and other locations. Her role required regular collaborations with organizations such as the Center for Investigative Reporting and the BBC.

Before her time at “The World,” Monica was an international correspondent. She spent several months in Afghanistan as part of a Knight Foundation multimedia project. For more than six years, she was based in Mexico City covering Latin America for several publications, including the Christian Science Monitor, San Francisco Chronicle, Marie Claire and the Economist. She was the Committee to Protect Journalists’ first representative in Mexico.

Monica is a mentor for the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Her work has garnered a national Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in equity and inclusion. She has been a Mirror Award finalist. She was also a Harvard Nieman fellow. Monica earned her BA in journalism from San José State University and her MA in Latin American and Caribbean studies from NYU.
