ABOUT

Dan Ming is a Senior Correspondent at The News Movement, where he reports on politics, inequality, and the lived consequences of power.

He is a two-time News & Documentary Emmy nominee and a former national correspondent for VICE News Tonight, where his reporting ranged from the earliest days of the COVID outbreak in New York City to the surge of anti-trans legislation in the South. His work has reached tens of millions of viewers across platforms.

In 2022, Dan hosted a three-part series on California’s housing crisis that has been viewed more than 11 million times on YouTube. Reporting from boat communities in the Bay Area, mobile home parks in Fresno, and trailer encampments in the Mojave Desert, he chronicled the struggles of people living on the margins of American society.

While at VICE, Dan co-created and produced Transnational, a boundary-pushing international series led by transgender journalists reporting on trans issues around the world. The show went on to win both a Peabody Award and a GLAAD Award.

He has also produced two feature documentaries: Queen of New York (NewFest 2023), which follows drag queen Marti Cummings’ run for political office, and Take Your Pills (Netflix Original, SXSW 2018), an exploration of America’s complicated relationship with Adderall and other ADHD drugs.

Dan began his career at Al Jazeera English on the Emmy-nominated program The Stream, where he worked his way from intern to producer and occasional on-air contributor.

He holds an M.A. in Medical Anthropology from SOAS, University of London, and a B.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies from Vassar College.
