about me

Hi! I’m Amanda Su, a multimedia journalist based in New York City.

I'm an associate producer for New York Times Opinion Video, which makes argued video shorts/films and publishes the Oscar-winning short documentary series Op-Docs. I was previously a NYT fellow with Opinion Video.

Before that, I reported and produced digital and broadcast stories for the ABC News Washington Bureau, after interning with ABC's Race & Culture Unit. I also interned at the nonprofit newsroom PublicSource, reporting and writing long-form enterprise stories.

I studied History & Literature at Harvard College, focusing on the intersection of ethnic studies and media studies. I wrote my senior thesis on Asian American home movies, for which I won the Hoopes Prize honoring outstanding scholarly research.

I served as president of The Harvard Crimson, Harvard's independent student newspaper, where I oversaw a 350-person staff and directed the organization's editorial, financial, and cultural strategy. Prior to that, I was a multimedia editor overseeing photo and video content and a news reporter covering the College Administration and Race & Diversity beats.

Welcome to my website — a compilation of some of my favorite work!
