I’m Ella Feldman, an Argentine-American data journalist and audio producer interested in how money, business and culture shape the world. I cover energy and commodities for Bloomberg News in New York City.

My reporting has spanned precious metals markets, the rise of Argentina’s Javier Milei, and how AI is transforming work. I’ve produced episodes of NPR’s daily economics podcast, The Indicator from Planet Money, and used to cover high-profile auctions for Smithsonian Magazine. My work has appeared in the Austin American-Statesman, Houston Public Media, and DCist. 

I hold an M.A. in business and economics reporting from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.

I used to review films for Washington City Paper, where I was also the last in-print City Lights editor. I still go to the movies once or twice a week.
