Hanna Ingber Win is a multi-media journalist based in Mumbai, India. She covers Mumbai for GlobalPost and blogs for True/Slant. Most recently, Hanna was the founding World Editor of the Huffington Post. She won InterAction’s 2009 Award for Excellence in International Reporting in recognition of the HuffPost’s foreign coverage.

Hanna has also lived and worked in Burma, Thailand, South Africa and the United States. She has a passion for telling stories about people and how they live. She has covered maternal health in Ethiopia and India, police misconduct in South Africa, migrant workers in Malaysia, Iraqi refugees in San Diego and juvenile sex offenders in Los Angeles.

Hanna’s freelance articles and commentaries have appeared in Washingtonpost.com, LA Weekly and the Hartford Courant and on CBC Radio’s “Dispatches” and NPR’s “Morning Edition” and “Day2Day.”

As a teenager, Hanna challenged her small, relatively conservative town to be more open about sex. She quickly became dubbed the Condom Girl. Hanna’s youth leadership skills were profiled in the New York Times, Ms. and Teen People. She gave speeches on youth leadership around the country and was interviewed on national television and radio shows including the Mitch Albom show and Fox News.

Hanna received her undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University, where she majored in the College of Social Studies. She started a column in the Wesleyan Argus called “A Little Bit Shady.” The column analyzed social issues on campus, from the dreaded walk-of-shame the morning after a sexual encounter to cocaine use to the emergence of online dating.

Hanna received her master’s in journalism from USC Annenberg, where she was a Dean’s Scholar and a columnist for Pop+Politics. She received the Jack Langguth First Amendment Award and was a 2008 NPR Kroc Finalist.
