Ed Yong

Ed Yong is a science journalist with British American citizenship who works a day job as a reporter for the Atlantic, from his base in Washington DC. “Poynter” named him the most impactful and important journalist of 2020. The journalist was also the winner of the Explanatory Reporting Pulitzer Prize in 2021 for his work reporting on the coronavirus pandemic. Yong was one of the very few journalists that anticipated how the virus would develop and the many challenges the American government would face as it came up with what he termed as a disastrous response.
