Gosia (Malgorzata) Wozniacka is a reporter, photographer, and occasional multimedia producer. Currently she works for The Associated Press, covering California’s Central Valley. Wozniacka specializes in reporting about immigration, agriculture, farmworkers and the Latino community. But she loves every good story, no matter the subject. Wozniacka has also done international reporting from Belraus, Mexico and India, with focus on political, economic and social transition. She’s fascinated with borderlands, dualities, people and places whose identities lie “in-between.” Wozniacka is fluent in Spanish, French and Polish (in addition to English).
Prior to joining the AP, Wozniacka was the Immigration/Latino Affairs reporter for The Oregonian, where she won the Best of the West, Blethen, and Society of Professional Journalists awards for her coverage. She has also written for The Dallas Morning News, The Hartford Courant, The San Francisco Chronicle, The WorldPaper, Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland’s biggest daily), and Transitions Online (a magazine that covers the former communist countries of Europe and Central Asia).
Wozniacka was born in Poland; she grew up in Poland, France and the United States. She studied and worked on both continents, and is often on the road between the two. She received her Master’s degree from the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. For several years, Wozniacka trained high school students at The Oregonian’s summer Journalism Institute in reporting, writing, and multimedia skills. She loves to read literature from around the world and has taught a series of non-fiction writing classes.
