Naomi Delkamiller is an investigative reporter experienced in visual storytelling, data journalism and multimedia reporting. She 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 inaugural investigative reporting fellow at the Midwest Newsroom, a regional investigative collaboration supported by NPR and member stations in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Based in Nebraska, she travels throughout the region to interview sources and gather visual story content.
Previously, she was an investigative reporting fellow at the Flatwater Free Press, Nebraska's first statewide nonprofit newsroom, and a reporter at News21 in Phoenix, Arizona. There, 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, The Arizona Republic, Indian Country Today, and other outlets.
Naomi earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2025. Her resume is linked here.
