Jonathan Carey

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

Jonathan Carey is originally from Petersburg, Virginia. He attended the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, he studied health, science, and urban reporting. After graduation, he began a fellowship at Audubon Magazine, and later wrote for HotNewHipHop.com (covering breaking news in sports and music, particularly hip-hop and jazz culture), Everyday Health, and New Food Economy. He also served as a Staff Writer for start-up Sentient Media, where he wrote investigative stories about animal welfare, factory farming, and the influence of big agriculture on local politics. Jonathan is a diehard basketball and football fan, and of course a music fanatic. He is also an animal lover, none more than his dog, Bajan. And he's a huge history buff.
