Brad Racino: Investigative Journalism & Multimedia

About Brad

 

I’m a second year graduate student at the University of Missouri studying investigative reporting and photojournalism. My previous work experiences revolved around photo/video work and production in New York and the Bahamas.  I currently live in San Diego, California, working alongside Investigative Newsource for a three-month project looking into the Port of San Diego’s import and export operations.

I’m trying really hard not to write in the third-person right now.

My recent journalism work as a fellow for News21 involved investigating the Food and Drug Administration’s import operations in Los Angeles and the state of food safety in America.

My work has been published by the Washington Post, MSNBC, the Center for Public Integrity, the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting, the Columbia Missourian, the Times Herald Record and Vox Magazine. Read some of my recent work here.

I’m also a ‘Web Content Developer’ for the National Freedom of Information Coalition (#NFOIC).  I develop multimedia content and lead a project called #OpenGovVideos — short interviews with reporters, editors, lawyers, lobbyists and congressman around the country centered around the issues of transparency and access to information  — set to roll out in February 2012.  Links forthcoming.
