Karla Zabludovsky, who has covered Latin America extensively for BuzzFeed News and The New York Times, is joining Rest of World as its Latin America editor.
She will start Jan. 8.
Zabludovsky started her career in journalism in Haiti, in 2010, covering the aftermath of the deadly earthquake that ravaged the Caribbean nation. Then, after completing her Master’s degree at Columbia Journalism School, where she focused on investigative reporting, she returned to her hometown of Mexico City to work for The New York Times.
In her two years at the Times, she covered everything from the explosion of vigilante groups to the rise of women in politics, and the presidential election that ushered the Institutional Revolutionary Party back into power.
After briefly working at Newsweek’s headquarters in New York, Zabludovsky joined BuzzFeed News in 2015 to open its bureau in Mexico City. She spent the next seven years roaming Latin America, covering the social crisis in Venezuela, civil unrest in Bolivia, and the erosion of the rule of law in Haiti, among other topics. Her reporting at BuzzFeed News was recognized by the Overseas Press Club of America and she was a finalist for the Livingston Award.
She will be based in Mexico City.
