Hi, I'm Aysha Khan.
I’m a journalist and editor focused on culture, civil rights, and minority communities in America.
My reporting on U.S. religion and American Muslims has been published in Religion News Service, where I spent several years, as well as the Washington Post, Associated Press, Boston Globe, and other national outlets. As senior editor at the non-profit news site Next City, I publish stories about how to build more equitable, accessible, sustainable, and just cities.
I hold a degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and in Islamic studies from Harvard Divinity School. I've received fellowships with the International Center for Journalists, GroundTruth Project, Maynard Institute for Journalism Education, Muslim Women & the Media Training Institute, and Journalism & Women Symposium.
