DAVID ALM 

I am a Brooklyn-based writer and editor, and I teach journalism at Hunter College of the City University of New York. 

​

My profile of Rachael Rapinoe was featured in the Best Sports Writing 2024 edition from Triumph Books, and ​my 2021 story for GQ about a group of Ethiopian runners living in the Bronx, "The Marathon Men Who Can't Go Home," was named one of the Best Features of the Year by Longreads.

 

My features for Runner's World have been the cover stories of the print magazine in the U.S., Spain, the U.K., and South Korea. 

​

Early in my career, I wrote about new media art and culture, and ghostwrote two books with the late web designer and filmmaker Hillman Curtis. Both have been taught at design and filmmaking schools across the country. 

​

As an editor, I work for an international business intelligence and political risk consultancy based in Midtown Manhattan, where I help analysts, executives, and others to craft actionable essays and reports on geopolitical and economic matters. 

​

As a professor, I specialize in magazine and feature writing, creative nonfiction, and news literacy.
