Interactive Editor | Miami Herald

Nancy San Martin’s work as a reporter has taken her to Afghanistan to cover the war there, Haiti to report on the 2010 earthquake, Greenland to investigate melting glaciers, and across the Americas and Caribbean.

San Martin was hired as a staff writer at the Miami Herald in 1989. Her extensive experience also includes positions at the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, as a specialty writer covering immigration and the Caribbean, and at the Dallas Morning News, where her beat was the southwest border. She returned to the Herald in 2001, and worked as a world reporter and assistant world editor before being appointed interactive editor, her current position, in 2009.

Covering stories, and finding compelling ways to tell those stories, has been San Martin’s passion as a journalist.

After studying at Miami Dade College, San Martin earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Florida International University, and was also a Harvard University Nieman Fellow. She has won two Suncoast Emmy Awards for her documentaries, the first in 2011 for “Nou Bouke: Haiti’s Past, Present and Future,” and again in 2014 for “The Day It Snowed In Miami,” a chronology of the LGBT-rights movement.
