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 CNN News Associates 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 digital, broadcast and social video work samples for you to get a better feel of my work.
