Journalism
I've spent 25 years in journalism, working as a reporter, editor, producer and coach. I have a passion for helping journalists experiment with new tools to tell stories in creative ways.
About Me
My name is Amy Zerba (pronounced ZER-bah). I'm a deputy editor at The New York Times in Manhattan, where I help develop training programs for Times journalists. These trainings focus on how to use our A.I. tools to help with reporting and research in responsible and ethical ways that adhere to our standards. I have a background in teaching and editing and a Ph.D. in journalism. I live in Manhattan with my family.
Teaching
I've taught journalism courses in reporting, editing, web design, multimedia journalism and survey research. I enjoy helping students shape their story ideas and experiment with storytelling formats.
Research
As a Ph.D. student and former professor, I researched the news habits and non-news habits of young adults (ages 18-29). My research examines the reasons for using and not using certain news media.
