Bio

Jared Wade

Now based in Bogotá, Colombia, I have worked professionally as a journalist, editor, and digital publisher since 2002, specializing in coverage of Latin America, business, financial services, sports, technology, and natural disasters.

In addition to journalistic and publishing work, I have provided a wide range of editorial services — including copywriting, ghostwriting, editing, whitepapers, reports, and corporate blog content — for companies and organizations across several different industries.

As a digital publisher, I have personally launched (or played a key role in the creation of) at least seven different online outlets. One of these digital properties was developed in partnership with ESPN and later acquired by a Time, Inc.-owned media company.

I have written byline stories and produced editorial content for publications including The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, New York Daily News, The Guardian, Sports Illustrated, ESPN.com, Bleacher Report, FanSided, The City Paper Bogotá, Finance Colombia, Finance AmericasRisk Management Magazine, Risk Management Monitor, Cognitive Business News, Nearshore Americas, Mexico-ITArms Control Reporter, Avianca en Revista, St. John’s University Alumni Magazine, Movies About GladiatorsTrueHoop, NYCBasketball.com, Rivals.com, NYC Sporting News, HoopSpeak, and Hardwood Paroxysm.

My background and greatest strengths lie in the written word and print journalism. But in recent years I have increasingly focused on photography and video production to tell more multimedia stories.

On a personal level, I am from the United States (born and raised in the great state of Maine) and first left home to get a journalism degree in New York (from St. John’s University). I lived in the city for a dozen years before departing to travel around Latin America, landing somewhat unexpectedly in Colombia. I instantly fell in love with this beautiful country and never left, choosing to live in Bogotá for the past half-decade.
