Geraldine Sealey

Former Managing Editor

I led the newsroom’s editorial strategy and daily operations, helping our team produce journalism that holds power to account and informs and engages communities. I was involved in every part of our work — from developing stories to distribution.

My Background

I’ve spent more than 20 years editing stories that aim to make a difference — from deep investigations and narrative features to breaking news and ambitious enterprise. I joined The Marshall Project in 2017, after holding senior editorial roles at NBC News, Vocativ, Fusion, Salon, Marie Claire and Glamour. Over the years, I’ve worked on journalism honored with a Pulitzer Prize, several National Magazine Awards, a Peabody and more.

I’m a proud multi-platform journalist, with experience across newspapers, magazines, digital newsrooms, podcasts, documentaries, radio and TV. I care deeply about accuracy, fairness, and the power of storytelling to create change — and about building a newsroom where people feel supported and able to do their best work.

Outside of work, I’m a dog mom, a human mom, a devoted Mets fan, and an avid (if very amateur) native gardener.

If you have ideas for important, undercovered stories about the criminal justice system — or if you’re thinking about editorial leadership, serving audiences, or building strong newsroom culture — I’d love to hear from you.
