About Maranie R. Staab

Visual and print journalist based in Pittsburgh, covering how people navigate conflict, power, displacement, and immigration in the U.S. and globally. My work spans social movements, migration, and stories of community and care, produced in collaboration with humanitarian and local organizations. I work across photography, video, text, and drone imagery to document and elevate the lives behind data and statistics, producing narratives that connect lived experience with public understanding. Two-time Webby Award recipient and Pulitzer Reporting Fellow, with commissions including World Central Kitchen (Ukraine), LifeStraw (Egypt & South Sudan), Médecins Sans Frontières (Iraq), the International Committee of the Red Cross (Lebanon), and the American Refugee Committee (Congo). Editorial work has appeared in LongLead, Vice News, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Telegraph. I welcome collaborations that push boundaries, amplify underrepresented voices, and explore new ways of storytelling. Find me at on Instagram @maranierae, and on Patreon.
