Emmy-Award winning One in 8 Million was a year-long series which ran weekly throughout 2009, profiling 54 everyday New Yorkers in sound and images, telling stories of choices and challenges, relationships and routines, work and obsessions, including The Green Thumb whose community garden in a Brooklyn housing project shows children that eggs don’t come from eggplant. The Dictaphone Doctor, last of a dying breed. The Jury Clerk, who says Good morning 200 times a day, and means it. The teenage mother. The Tabloid Photographer. The Iraq Veteran. The Night Keeper, The Only Child. The All-Night Accountant. The Walker. The Adoptive Mother. The Walking Miracle. A print component of the multimedia stories ran in the Sunday Metropolitan section of The Times each week.
Press included an interview on the making of the series and a Q&A.
COMING OUT
Creator/Series Producer/Editor
The New York Times
Emmy-nominated Coming Out profiled L.G.B.T. teens around the United States in 2011, a year in which bullying and suicides of gay and lesbian teenagers were regularly making headlines, the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy had been repealed and the debate over same-sex marriage continued to divide the country. The reported narrative series also featured more than 200 reader-submitted stories, each carefully vetted for libel and defamation. The project was notable, in part, because it was one of the New York Times first successful call-outs to readers, soliciting thousands of responses. The Times, ultimately, had to close submissions because the response was so overwhelming.

THREE GENERATIONS UNDER ONE ROOF
Reporter/Writer/Producer
The New York Times
Three Generations, One Roof is a portrait of a multi-generational Chinese American family living together in a tenement building in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Experimenting with weaving together oral history interviews to develop the characters, this magazine-length story was one in a series examining the way families live in New York City, roughly based off of Census data. The accompanying interactive Under One Roof documented the activity of the family during one evening by placing cameras on each floor of the tenement building.
