Amy Gorel

Senior Editor

Amy Gorel is a Boston-based public media journalist focused on digital-audio collaboration.

As a senior editor for digital news at WBUR, she helps turn stories written for radio into compelling digital experiences and edits digital-first reporting for the website, newsletters, app and social platforms. She also writes breaking and spot news stories, and features that help Bostonians find the information they need and the joy they crave in compelling digital content like voter guides, quizzes or even a bingo card.

Beyond the news, Amy provides editorial support across WBUR's newsroom and podcast department. She specializes in interactive tools like Flourish and Datawrapper to create compelling digital interactives to help tell complex stories or display large datasets. She's worked as an editor and project manager on WBUR's podcast with The Marshall Project: Violation, and as a digital editor on WBUR's podcast Postmortem.

She was a primary contributor to WBUR's Field Guide to Boston, managing the project's audio story telling and promotion and brainstorming ongoing coverage of life in the city.

From time to time, she'll dabble in audio reporting — like this story sharing what marriage has meant to LGBTQ couples 20 years after it became legal in Massachusetts, and this story about a public art installation drawing attention to our housing crisis.

Previously, she spent six years as editor for WBUR's arts and culture team and helped nurture The ARTery into a multi-platform destination to learn about Boston's cultural scene. She worked to launch The ARTery's Sound On series and The ARTery25, and created the digital experience for WBUR's and The Boston Globe's podcast Last Seen.

She's a Boston University graduate.
