Hilary A. Niles

Harness the power of data-driven journalism to elevate your newsroom’s investigative acumen, enterprise insights, visual interest and workflow efficiency. My services include special projects, support for beat reporting and capacity building.

I love uncovering hidden stories, blending mediums to tell them just right, and explaining complex topics in simple terms. I practice both accountability and “solutions” journalism to tell the story of how public policies shape our daily lives.

I believe it’s important to understand what promotes press freedom as well as what hinders it. As a freedom of information advocate, my research examines the conditions of “ripeness” for both strengthening and rolling back this essential human right.
