Christina Jedra is an investigative reporter for The (Delaware) News Journal and DelawareOnline.com where her stories often have impact. On the Wilmington city beat, she uncovered a lack of oversight and transparency for the City Council's discretionary fund. Her review led to calls for reform, a state audit and a criminal investigation. And her story on a state-funded construction training program's questionable labor practices resulted in a still-ongoing Delaware Department of Labor probe.
Her work has earned multiple awards from the MDDC (Maryland, Delaware, D.C.) Press Association and was recently featured in the Investigative Reporters & Editors Journal.
Previously, she covered the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis for The Capital. There she spent three months on a multimedia project featuring a transgender academy graduate anticipating a policy change. The MDDC Press Association recognized her for that story and others including breaking news of a change to Maryland's prison visitation policy, coverage of the local Muslim community, and for going undercover as a sailor for a day.
Before that, she worked at The Baltimore Sun in an internship honoring Mary J. Corey, the first woman to lead the Sun newsroom. For the Sun, she profiled half of the 45 victims of Baltimore's deadliest month as part of an award-winning multimedia project.
While attending Emerson College in Boston, Jedra researched artificial field turf for the New England Center for Investigative Reporting; covered local news for The Boston Globe; published weekly news pieces as a collegiate correspondent for USA Today; and interned for magazines including Cosmopolitan, Parents, and Boston Magazine.
