My name is Aaron Edwards and I’m a multi-platform journalist and editor currently working as a James Reston Reporting Fellow at The New York Times on the Metropolitan Desk.

I’ve worked with some of the world’s leading news organizations, including The Associated Press London Bureau, CBS News, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The New York Times Student Journalism Institute and The Atlanta Sunday Paper.

I’ve covered a range of topics and stories, including the BP oil spill along the Gulf Coast in 2010, rebel uprisings in Libya, Syria, Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries in 2011, spending cuts protests in London in 2011 and the British Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

My reporting, editing and newsroom leadership has been recognized on a regional and national level by The Society of Professional Journalists, The National Association of Black Journalists and The College Media Association.

I graduated with honors from Ithaca College in May 2012 with a B.A. in Journalism with a minor in theater.
