Molly Longman

Writer, Editor, & Producer

I love telling stories—through a medley of platforms.

I’m an award-winning journalist who’s written features, produced podcasts, and created videos for a few of the top news outlets and magazines in the country.

Molly is a freelance journalist based in New York. She specializes in work at the intersection of politics and health, investigations, and data journalism. She also loves writing about occasional oddities and weird internet things.

Molly’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Teen Vogue, Vice, Texas Monthly, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Esquire, The Des Moines Register, and The Phoenix New Times. In the run-up to the 2024 election, she followed presidential candidates including Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy on the campaign trail in Iowa as a reporter for The New York Times.

Molly enjoys hiking, public records, and watching videos of cows on Instagram. She grew up in Iowa.
