Journalist Jeff Ernst reporting in Honduras

Jeff Ernst has earned a reputation as a gifted reporter, storyteller and investigator, producing impactful work that shines a light where no one else is looking - and where some would prefer no one did.

He has written for acclaimed news outlets, such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Univision News, InSight Crime, Foreign Policy, The California Sunday Magazine, El Faro, and VICE World News to name a few, and he has appeared on the BBC, ABC News, NPR and other media.

Jeff has nearly a decade of experience reporting in the United States and Latin America, primarily Mexico and Central America, with a special focus on Honduras.

His latest project is called “Moskitia al Borde,” or “Moskitia on the Brink,” a Spanish-language podcast about the Moskitia, a remote Indigenous territory where drug traffickers are fueling the destruction of one of the most important forests in the Americas and driving the people from their ancestral lands.
