About Me

OSUgrad7.JPG

Hi, I'm Nino Paoli. I am a business reporter at Fortune Magazine, working on the Global News Desk. I am based in New York City, where I am finishing out my journalism education at New York University's Business and Economics Reporting program in May 2026. 

​

I am also a Dow Jones News Fund intern in the 2025 class.

​

If I could tell myself two years ago, freshly graduated from Oregon State Unievrsity with a bachelor's degree in Creative Writing and minor in Journalism, that I am a working reporter in New York City, I wouldn't have believed it. Now that I'm here, I want to continue to improve everyday as a journalist.

​

My reporting shines most when I'm covering the intersection of government policy and business.
