Business Insider Fellowship Work Samples

I’m Max Feliu, a multimedia journalist born and raised in Barcelona, Spain. Growing up in a multicultural household, I developed a passion for storytelling that connects different communities with new perspectives. That passion has taken me to the Hearst National Championship and led me to report for the Associated Press and PBS. I’m driven by journalism that elevates communities as they navigate challenges, with a commitment to telling stories that might otherwise go unheard.

The Business Insider Fellowship program represents the perfect opportunity to deepen these skills. I am eager to contribute my experience while learning from the some of the best journalists in the United States. Below are some work samples for you to get a better feel of my work.

Above The Divide

Captain Jim Kilpatrick, Vietnam Air Force veteran, founded the Bandit Flight Team with the mission of rebuilding the sense of military pride that dissipated in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Above the Divide captures the parallel narratives of Kilpatrick's controversial service in Vietnam juxtaposed against the patriotic fervor sparked by his flyovers today.
