Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco

Reporter, WNIJ

I cover issues related to wildlife, conservation and ecology for Harvest Public Media and the Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk from WNIJ in DeKalb, Illinois. I’m a Report For America corps member.

Before landing at WNIJ, I worked with StoryCorps, City Bureau, the Third Coast International Audio Festival and In These Times magazine. I’ve produced national stories for All Things Considered and Morning Edition.

I grew up in Rockford, Illinois and graduated from Knox College, where I studied Latin American History and Economics.
