Naomi Delkamiller is a visual and investigative journalist who believes the point of journalism is to help the public better understand complex issues. The format—whether video, graphics, or written stories—is simply a vehicle to accomplish this mission.
Currently, Naomi is the founding Audience and Engagement Journalist at the Nebraska Journalism Trust, where she works across reporting, development, visuals and design teams. She is driven by a desire to rebuild journalism for her generation and beyond, and aims to make investigative reporting accessible, useful, and engaging for digital-first audiences.
Previously, she served as the inaugural reporting fellow at the NPR Midwest Newsroom, a regional investigative collaboration. She was also a reporter at News21 in Phoenix, Arizona, where she worked under a team of Pulitzer Prize-winning editors to produce the in-depth multimedia project "America After Roe," which won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards Grand Prize in 2024.
Her reporting has appeared in The Associated Press, NPR, The Arizona Republic, Indian Country Today, and other outlets.
Naomi earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Her resume is linked here.
