We’re growing! New Jersey Globe adds new reporter

The New Jersey Globe is pleased to announce that Nikita Biryukov is joining our team as a reporter.

Nikita has worked as a freelance reporter, with bylines appearing in The (Bergen) Record, the Asbury Park Press, the Press of Atlantic City, the Home News Tribune, the Courier News, NJSpotlight.com, USA Today, and NBCNews.com.

He worked as a production intern at MSNBC Live with Steve Kornacki during the 2016 general election, and then as a digital reporting intern at NBC News in 2017.  He is a graduate of Rutgers University and was the associate news editor of the Daily Targum.  His reporting there has won two awards from the New Jersey Press Association.

Nikita, a self-described political junkie who grew up in Camden County, will work full-time for the New Jersey Globe covering politics across the state starting on April 2.  He can be reached at [email protected].
