Mariana Martínez Barba
Bilingual Reporter and Multimedia Journalist

I'm a freelance journalist based in Mexico and the U.S. who produces multimedia stories on immigration, culture, climate, and more. My work has been featured in publications like The Associated Press, Los Angeles Times and Prism Reports.
I've worked as a Spanish language translator and field reporter for The New York Times, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and SBS Australia. I'm also a stringer and researcher for The Washington Post.
I received my Master's from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY with a double concentration in international and bilingual reporting. I was a finalist for the Ñ Awards for NAHJ in 2024 and a recipient of the Silurians Press Club Award in 2023.
I hold a B.A. in Sociology from Occidental College.
