An excerpt from The Washington Post’s director of editorial video Micah Gelman reads:
We are delighted to announce the promotion of Nadine Ajaka to executive producer of Visual Forensics. In this elevated role, Nadine will continue overseeing the vital work done by her expanding team of reporters. She will also continue collaborating closely with other newsroom sections on visual investigations.
Since founding the Visual Forensics team in the summer 2020, Nadine and her reporters have quickly become industry leaders in open-source investigations, routinely breaking news on the biggest stories.
Nadine joined The Post in 2017 as senior producer, video platforms. She quickly made her mark, helping grow our YouTube channel from a meager 10,000 subscribers to more than a million (and approaching 2 million now). She also helped define and execute our strategy for video experimentation on Facebook and Apple News.
Prior to joining The Post, Nadine was a curator and associate producer at The Atlantic. Before that, she completed a Fulbright fellowship in Jordan and worked as a freelance video producer in Jordan and Iraq.
Nadine graduated with two bachelor’s degrees in journalism and global studies from Ohio University.
