Samantha Chery

My name is Samantha Chery, and I am a breaking news reporter in features at The Washington Post. I cover arts & entertainment, pop culture, fashion, food, media and more.

 

I joined The Post as a features intern and later became a contract multiplatform editor for the gender & identity team in features.

 

I have written for various digital and print publications, such as ESPN's Andscape, the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Synergy Magazine, Atrium and WUFT News.

 

I received my bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Florida with minors in sociology and event management. My academic specializations were in magazine writing and data journalism.

 

In addition to my written work, I have anchored and operated cameras, lower-thirds and audio for broadcast news.
