About Me

Erik German JournalistI’m currently a senior producer for Retro Report, a non-profit documentary series with distribution partners that rank among the most respected outlets in media.

My work has drawn millions of views on The New York Times, Quartz, Vox, PBS and other out outlets. I’m currently in production on a feature-length documentary about evictions in the wake of COVID 19. Before that, I created, produced and wrote our flagship series What Happens Next, which won a Loeb Award, a Murrow Award and was twice a finalist for an Emmy.

I began my career as a staff writer for Newsday, where I spent four years variously covering local corruption, the Albany statehouse and the 2008 presidential campaign.

I later joined GlobalPost as a foreign correspondent, first in North Africa and then in Brazil, producing multimedia packages that have run in newspapers, on television and across the web. After leaving GlobalPost, I signed on as a roving correspondent for The Daily, the iPad-only interactive newspaper launched by News Corp. in February 2011. I reported, shot and wrote multimedia features across the country as the most widely traveled member our national enterprise team until the publication folded at the end of 2012.
