De Groene Amsterdammer

In the fall of 2024 I started contributing as a journalist to the Dutch weekly ‘De Groene Amsterdammer’. Here, I focus on writing in-depth profiles and background reportages that reveal an intimate portrait and silver lining to the larger themes in society.

Read my portrait of the sustainable entrepreneur Jacob Hannah, in the midst of the coalfields of West Virginia.

Read my background article on the way Big Tech is slyly dealing with European regulations, by unplugging the most important data source for academics and journalists.
