I’m Angelika Albaladejo and I tell stories.
As a news reporter and investigative journalist, I use the written word, sound and visuals to weave narratives and share what’s happening in the world.
My experience spans digital, print, podcast and TV news.
I’ve reported international, national, state and local stories — covering beats like criminal justice, immigration, health, the environment and diverse communities.
My stories often hold the powerful accountable and uplift the experiences of those who are often exploited or ignored.
I also love introducing my readers, viewers or listeners to fascinating people, places and situations they’d otherwise never experience.
My stories are award-winning and published by USA TODAY, the Guardian, Univision, CNN, the Miami Herald, Mother Jones, Salon, the American Prospect and Newsweek, among other major outlets.
Most recently, I told stories for TV, streaming and digital with Denver7, a local broadcast station in the E.W. Scripps company. Previously I was the staff investigative reporter for the nonprofit newsroom Capital & Main where I collaborated with a wide range of partners.
I see journalism as a constantly evolving medium and seek out continued training to expand my skill set and ability to reach people with the information they need and want.
I’ve learned through investigative fellowships with the Fund for Investigative Journalism, the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism and the Ida B. Wells Society Data Institute. I’m also a member of many professional organizations like Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE), the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting, the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the Society of Environmental Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ).
I live in Denver, Colorado — but I grew up in South Florida and I’ve spent time in Washington, DC; Nashville, Tennessee; Medellín, Colombia; Rio de Janerio, Brasil and Los Angeles, California.
I started my media career as an independent foreign correspondent in Latin America, and contributing writer for InSight Crime. I became inspired to tell real life stories while working as a foreign policy analyst in Washington, DC with the Center for International Policy and Latin America Working Group. I went to El Salvador in 2016 and helped report and write a series of articles about violence, corruption and migration. My work was cited by the United Nations and remains a widely-used resource in U.S. asylum cases. Around that time, I also co-hosted and co-produced Periphery, a podcast on security and rights in the Americas.
I’m a proud Miami-born Cubana-Puertorriqueña. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, and can also speak Brazilian Portuguese. I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Global Affairs from George Mason University and a Master’s degree in Latin American Studies from Vanderbilt University.
